Jubilee and allsweet melons are both elongated, and weigh 18-25 pounds each. Allsweet melons are dark green with small light green stripes. Flesh color is another important characteristic of watermelons, says Simonne. Traditionally, watermelon flesh is red. There is no major difference in taste between the red and yellow flesh.
