DESCRIPTION
Perhaps the best of our orange and yellow varieties!! The rind is dark green with mottled strips of lighter green. Very uniform in shape. This 22-28 lb Watermelon has a sweet yellow flesh that turns more orange as it matures and the taste improves with time. Large black seeds. It has a much tougher rind than our other orange and yellow varieties making it a much better shipper.
CLASSIFICATIONS
OPEN POLLINATED
Pollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.
