Desert King
Yellow Watermelon
Origin: United States
Item #: WATERMELON007
The Desert King Watermelon,
a yellow fleshed watermelon variety, is considered by many to be the most
drought resistant watermelon on the market. This watermelon has an unusual
pea green colored rind and a deep, rich yellow colored flesh intermingled
with grey-black seeds. A few red fleshed watermelons may also be ocassionally
produced. The individual watermelon itself has a round shape and typically
averages 30 pounds in weight.
Although the rind of this
variety is quite thin, the Desert King Watermelon typically holds up well
in transit for market gardeners. Reportedly, the watermelons will hold
on the vine for up to a month after becoming ripe and will store very well
in the kitchen, making this variety less a far less wasteful one than other
watermelons.
Due to its excellent drought
tolerance, this lovely watermelon variety is resistant to sun scalding,
making it the best watermelon for hot climates.
Matures in 85 to 90 days.
