How does a vine peach taste?

Question

At a nursery I saw a "vine peach" plant advertised as tasting like a peach-mango mix. Does it really taste like that or is it just another kind of melon flavor? I understand it's in the melon family.

If you are interested give them a try. It's a vine plant and grows well on a trellis. The fruit is in the cantaloupe family but is smaller and has a lot more fruit. It has a taste kind of it's own, you may like it and you may not. I can take or leave it. I'm not trying to talk you out of trying it. just don't expect peaches. Spend a couple of bucks on some seed and give it a try.
