Product Description

20-25 lb. fruits
Deep crimson, fine-grained sweet flesh
Resistant to fusarium wilt and anthracnose
Favorite among home gardeners

Generations of gardeners love Crimson Sweet Watermelon—and with good reason. Its deep crimson, fine-grained flesh is bursting with juicy sweetness and flavor. The oval-to-round melons average 20-25 lbs., so they're the perfect size for slicing up for picnics or cutting into fruit salads. The oval-to-round, light green fruits are striped with dark green—and have small seeds. The vigorous vines are resistant to fusarium wilt and anthracnose. Crimson Sweet Watermelon is such a flavor favorite that it's often the standard by which other watermelons are judged. 88 DAYS.
