Melons are generally considered non-climacteric fruits. This means they do not continue to ripen significantly after being harvested, unlike climacteric fruits such as bananas or tomatoes, which produce ethylene gas and continue ripening post-harvest. However, some varieties may soften slightly after picking, but they won't undergo substantial changes in flavor or sweetness. Therefore, it's best to harvest melons when they are fully ripe.
