Description

A watermelon from the Middle East. The fruits have a very light green skin and red juicy flesh. The flavor is excellent, very sweet and very juicy, the texture is crisp. It is one of the favorite melons of melon book author Amy Goldman, unfortunately, her books have been published only in English. The plants grow vigorously. Each plant can produce up to four melons, and one melon can weigh up to seven pounds, but remains much smaller in cool years. Meaning: even in cool years these melons ripen, the plant simply adapts!
