Expanded Dune

Melons were fruit and the plant of a typically vine-like (climber and trailer) herb that was first cultivated on Old Earth. The flowering plant bore an accessory fruit of a type that botanists called a false berry. Many different melon cultivars were produced, such as cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon.
Melons were one of the plants cultivated during the ecological transformation of the planet Arrakis that was begun by Pardot Kynes.
