Lemon Drop Watermelon

Citrullus vulgaris

Sit-RULL-us vlu-GAR-is

Edibles: Fruiting Vegetable

An outstanding and super rare all-golden mini melon. Baker Creek has been searching for an all-yellow watermelon for many years. These incredibly small and early producing melons are just what we’ve been pining after-- a rich lemon-yellow color from skin to flesh! Like striking gold, this glorious gilded watermelon was the stuff of dreams and legend. The excitement was palpable as these Asian type, pocket sized melons began to ripen on vine at the trials. We were thrilled with the vigorous growing habit and productivity; each vine blossoming and providing perfect single serving sized 1-2 pound fruit with flavor that is unparalleled, candy sweet and crispy textured. A perfect little snacking melon with super thin rind. In fact, the flesh is edible all the way down to the skin. A perfect home garden or local market melon, as the thin skin is not well suited to long distance shipping. The vines produce tons of the personal sized melons. Will throw a small percentage of green skinned fruit.
