Watermelon Cantaloupe and Cucumber

Do cantaloupe and cucumbers cross?

The short answer is no, cucumbers are Cucmis sativus and cantaloupe are Cucumis melo, and different species do not cross. However, this question is most frequently asked when cantaloupe do not contain enough sugar. Cantaloupes only acquire sugar for a short period before it is transformed into other carbohydrates in the fruit. If the weather has been cloudy or rainy for several days prior to harvest, the fruit will not be sweet.
