Originating in 1954 in South Carolina, this is one of the largest heirloom watermelon varieties. This watermelon produces large oblong fruits with deep red flesh and a light green rind with no stripes. The seeds are large, but not as many as most varieties. Each plant will produce around 3-4 watermelons. Known by many as the classic “icebox watermelon”.
This is the first watermelon I've been able to grow long enough to not be completely decimated by aphids. The vine was beautiful and lush and the fruit was very tasty with enough seeds to save but no so many that it was unpleasant to eat. I will grow this every year going forward.
Seeds sprouted right away, looking good for this years harvest!
