Mountain
Hoosier Watermelon
Origin: United States
Item #: WATERMELON021
Mountain Hoosier is a very
old heirloom watermelon that is said to date back to the era prior to the
American Civil War. Though no records exist from that period that describe
it under the name, we do know that Mountain Hoosier Watermelons were being
offered commercially in seed catalogs about sixty years later during the
1930's. Whatever the case may be, we do know that Mountain Hoosier Watermelons
have been in existance for at least 70 years and were once very popular
with gardeners in the Mid-Eastern United States.
Mountain Hoosier is a very,
very productive variety that produces very large watermelons. It is in
fact, one of the most productive watermelons that we can recommend to our
customers, with the added bonus that each watermelon will reach 75 to 80
pounds in weight when the weather conditions are favorable. This combination
of great size and great production is very rarely, if ever, seen in other
watermelon varieties, making Mountain Hoosier truly one of a kind!
The large watermelons are of a slightly oblong shape and possess a dark
green rind, making their appearance similar to Florida Giant. The flesh
of the watermelons is of a brilliant red, with a very crisp, fine texture
and a sweet, old fashioned taste. The seeds are large and are white in
color with a black tip.
For production and reliability,
we cannot reccommend a better watermelon that Mountain Hoosier.
Matures very early for a
large variety, at 85 days, which places it among our earliest watermelons!
