How soon melons bear fruit is largely based on the type of melon, as well as the specific cultivar. Cantaloupes are among the first melons to produce fruit -- typically within 35 days of pollination. Early varieties, including Earli-Sweet and Alaska, produce fruit even sooner. Honeydew melons take between 45 to 60 days to bear fruit, while watermelons need a long, warm season. Small icebox watermelon, such as Sugar Baby, produce fruit in as little as 75 days, but big whoppers, such as Florida Giant or Cannonball, need between 90 and 115 days to ripen.
