The largest ones exceeded eight pounds, although more typically they were 5-6 pounds. Fruits are round, medium green with dark green stripes, rinds are thin and the lemon yellow flesh is dramatic to see and taste. Fruits are similar to Sugar Baby in size, and flavor is excellent. Can also be grown on short supports for even greater space efficiency. Early enough to be grown almost anywhere.
Flavor is as good as the larger shipping melons, perhaps better.
Fruits average 7 inches in diameter and are perfectly round. It is even sweeter than Pony Yellow and very juicy. There are no cracks in the flesh as we see in so many varieties, and the texture is nice and crisp. Yields were also quite high, nine melons per hill. Once again, we are offering this Amish heirloom watermelon.
