Hime Kansen, Hybrid

Hime Kansen, Hybrid
 
Seed #250

The "icebox-sized" watermelon has always been Japan's specialty. Japan consumers prefer the small size because it is easier to handle and fits in their small refrigerators. The melon is slightly oblong shaped and is green in color with deep black stripes. Its rind is very thin, about 3/16", but it retains excellent shipping ability. The deep red flesh of this 5-pound melon is more firm and crisp than other icebox types, and it has a sugar content of over 13%. Enjoy this sweet specialty sized watermelon growing in your own garden.

  • Maturity: Approx. 60 days after fruit setting
  • Planting season: Late spring to early summer
