SOLITARE

(70 Day) A 'mini' seedless melon perfect for an individual or small family. Round fruits are larger than a softball but smaller than a soccer ball, weighing 3 1/2 to 5 pounds each. The deep red flesh is crisp and very sweet and the hard dark green rind has lighter green stripes. Early maturity makes it a great choice for short season areas. Due to shorter vines, 15 to 20 inch spacing is recommended when planting, resulting in high yields from a small space.
Seedless varieties require a pollinator of another cross-pollinating variety to be planted in an alternating pattern along with the seedless variety. The fruit of these other 5 will sport a contrasting rind color to easily tell them apart.

These oblong watermelons are both lovely and delicious.

The strong rinds and sweet orange flesh with high sugar content make these a favorite for many.

They grow about 18" long and weigh about 35 pounds when they reach maturity after 95 days of growing.
