This hybrid watermelon is developed recently by a leading seed company in Taiwan, where is the leading watermelon breeding technology center in Asia. Plants are very vigorous, widely adapted to various soil and weather conditions and high resistant to Fusarium wilt. Fruits are uniform, short oblong in shape and 4-5 Kg in weight. Green rind with dark green stripes is thin but tought which is good for storage and shipping. Bright red flesh is very juicy and sweet with sugar content at 12%. This high quality watermelon is very popular in Asia and widely grown for commercial production.
