Watermelon: Tendersweet

Tendersweet, a unique and extremely sweet watermelon with orange flesh, is set apart from other orange varieties because of its unusually strong rind. They grow about 18" long and weigh about 35 pounds. Rather than being the result of hybrids, yellow and orange varieties of watermelon are more ancient than their pink and red counterparts. Historians believe that the orange versions that grew wild in South Africa originally had high sugar content and were very sweet. These seeds are so popular that they are often sold out!
