I feel like earthmellon would just be a coconut. I'm excited for windmelon and firemellon, though.
Rockmelon is another name for cantaloupe
That's true, I guess because of the peel. By that logic watermelons would have to be blue, though.
Dragonfruit? Or are we going capsaicin
I was thinking that it's about composition (watermelon is mostly water), so probably more capsaicin. Hot like a pepper but big and round. And maybe some orangish bioluminescence too, since it's a made-up fruit and I'm allowed some creative licence.
Windmelon would then be very light and spongy.
I wonder if a fruit like that could ever be GMO'ed.
I see no fundamental reason why not. The barriers are mostly cultural and in understanding details of biology when it comes to GMOs.
