Cucumis melo (Melon) Yellow Canary is a classic and beloved melon variety known for its bright yellow skin, refreshing flavor, and excellent storability. The Canary melon—also Canary melon or Amarillo —is one of the most popular yellow melons in the world, prized for its juicy, sweet-and-fresh flesh and ease of cultivation. This variety is particularly suitable for both home gardeners and small commercial growers.
With its soft aroma, tender texture and characteristic appearance, Yellow Canary is a real eye-catcher in both the garden and the kitchen.
The Yellow Canary melon is instantly recognizable by its strikingly colored rind and oval shape. This melon is not only beautiful to look at but also delicious to taste.
Weight: 1.2–2.5 kg
Shape: oval to elongated
Skin: smooth, firm and intense yellow
Flesh: white to light green
Taste: softly sweet, fresh and aromatic
Texture: juicy and tender, but not mushy
The flavor of Yellow Canary differs from the classic cantaloupe or galia: it's less nutmeg-like, but fresher, lighter, and exceptionally invigorating. This makes it ideal for anyone who enjoys a mild yet sweet melon.
Yellow Canary is a strong, reliable, and productive variety. The plants are vigorous and deliver consistent yields throughout the season.
Robust tendrils with broad leaf coverage
Good tolerance to drought and heat
High fruit quality, even at varying temperatures
Strong plants that are less susceptible to fruit cracking
Its hardiness and natural resistance make Yellow Canary an excellent choice for beginner gardeners looking to try melons for the first time.
Although greenhouse cultivation always gives the highest yields, the canary melon is one of the varieties that also perform surprisingly well in open ground – especially in warm, sunny summers.
Full sun (at least 6–8 hours of light per day)
Warm, sheltered place
Airy, well-drained soil, preferably rich in organic matter
Pre-sowing: April–May at 20–25°C

Planting distance: 60–80 cm between plants
Mulching helps keep the soil warm
Water at the base, not on the leaves
Train tendrils for clarity and better fruit quality
Cultivation time: 80–95 days from planting out.
Yellow Canary is known as a trouble-free, tolerant variety that can produce good results even in less than perfect conditions.
Canary melon fruits ripen reliably and are easy to recognize when they are ready for harvest.
The skin turns an intense canary yellow
The fruit gets a subtle scent
The shell gives slightly when gently pressed
The stem sometimes comes loose a little, but less pronounced than with cantaloupe
A major advantage of Yellow Canary is its excellent shelf life. The firm rind protects the flesh, allowing this melon to last longer than many other varieties.
