Watermelon, Yellow Gold 48 Hybrid

68 days. This newcomer features 6½ to 7 lb. fruits with luscious, bright yellow flesh that has a firm, crisp texture. Its unique flavor was best described as honey, mango-like in taste tests and is deliciously sweet with a Brix of 13. Compact, elongated fruits have thick rinds that are dark green with fine, darker green stripes and are highly uniform. Fruits have a good shelf life and ship well. Great for farmers markets. In trials, melons demonstrated good crack tolerance. A diploid type that produces very good yields.
