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. Last year we harvested a 28 lb melon from our trials.
Foliage is mottled as well.
Its very sweet flavor, along with its unusual appearance, have given this heirloom that nearly disappeared, a lot of notoriety in recent years.
