My favourite fruits are the cantaloupe melons from Japan and Taiwan. Botanically, they may be classified as berries.
In the United States, the majority of cantaloupe melons are produced in California, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia. These states provide the warm, long growing season required of these melons.
On a global scale, China is the largest producer, putting out about 50% of global production. Taiwan and Japan produce high quality specialty melons in greenhouses as well.
They can also be found growing in my apartment =P
