Description

This watermelon variety produces very large, elongated fruits with a thin green-striped skin. The flesh is dark red and very sweet. The fruits can weigh between 9 and 13 kg each. Can be planted outdoors in a warm, sunny and sheltered spot. However, the best results with this variety are achieved in a greenhouse. Use this delicious tasting watermelon as an exotic fruit, in bowls, in desserts, in fruit salads, for breakfast, with ham as an appetizer, in salads, as a juicy snack in summer and in all dishes with watermelon.
