Watermelons 'Cool Baby'

  • Product number: 312040
  • Origin: West Africa
  • Latin: Citrullus lanatus

After 4 years of selection, one of my growers succeeded in selecting a watermelon that thrives outdoors (with some effort). On colder days (below 20°C), keep it under foil; above that, the foil can be removed, also for pollination. The fruits can weigh 4-5 kg. The red flesh is deliciously sweet and incredibly juicy!

Names:
Latin: Citrullus lanatus
