Growing Information
Growing Cal Sweet Bush Watermelon
2019 AAS Winner. First variety to win the prestigious AAS Award! Our first container watermelon produces at least one fruit per vine, each exceptionally sweet and tasty, with crisp, bright red flesh. If planted even with limited space, productivity soars to 2 to 3 fruits per plant. Compact, bushy vines offer enough foliage cover to protect the fruits. Beautiful dark-green-striped watermelon pattern and shape. Picnic-size fruits are a favorite for commercial growers and for those who sell at farmers markets.
