Festival Watermelon

A very classy watermelon! An All-sweet type with a beautiful, dark green, striped rind. Its tough rind makes it an excellent shipper. Strong vigorous plants provide shelter for the 22-25 lb, dark red, sweet flesh fruit. Seed color is dark brown with black mottling. Extremely productive producing a high percentage of uniform fruit.

Created from a controlled method of pollination in which the pollen of two different species or varieties is crossed by human intervention. Typical F1 varieties are deliberately created to breed a desired trait. Gardeners who use hybrid plant varieties usually purchase new seed every year, however, over several years the seed could eventually be used for open pollination
