These vines produce a small round watermelon (10lbs or so) with a light green and dark green rind and a yellow flesh. The yellow flesh is high in vitamins A and C, as well as beta carotene (the chemical found in carrots and pumpkins). The flesh tastes sweeter than a pink watermelon.
This is our personal favorite watermelon for both the excellent flavor and the ease of growing. These melons grow up a trellis beautifully. Try growing these vertically to save valuable garden space!
