Watermelons 'Early Moonbeam'
- Product number: 312080
- Origin: West Africa
- Latin: Citrullus lanatus
Ideal for outdoor cultivation in Northern Europe, so usually very successful in the Netherlands!
These deliciously sweet watermelons have bright yellow flesh. The fruits can stay on the plant for a very long time (they do not overripen), allowing for a long harvesting period from the same plant. If you really need to harvest in October, the fruits will continue to ripen indoors.
The fruits are quite small, weighing 1.5-2 kg.
