Description
With a fruit weight of up to 5 kg and a surprisingly quick ripening for outdoors, this watermelon emerged as the best variety by far from our variety selection. The variety copes extremely well with drought and heat, but is also forgiving of the recurring cold nights in May and June – which enables an almost reliable harvest to be achieved. Since the plants have relatively sparse foliage, we recommend growing through a mulch.
