Overview
Aunt Ruby's German Green is a green-fleshed heirloom of German origin that was grown in Tennessee by Ruby Arnold. The oblate fruit weighs 12 to 16 ounces, four by five inches, smooth, with green flesh blushed light yellow and amber pink at the blossom end. The flavor is sweet with a hint of spice and good balance. Vines are indeterminate and need caging or staking; prune suckers for airflow because the fruit can approach a pound. Judge ripeness by a slight give and a yellow-green cast rather than any red, and pick before it softens too much. About 80 to 85 days from transplant.
