The 'Melon' apple, also called 'Watermelon' and 'Norton's Melon' is a partly red dessert apple in season from autumn through early winter. Its quality is excellent, but it does not keep well into late winter.[1] It originated among seedling trees that were brought from Connecticut to make an orchard in New York state in 1800.[1]
