Royal Golden, Watermelon,

Very Rare hard-to-find Heirloom Royal Golden Watermelon rind turns yellow at maturity. This unique color makes it easy to know when to harvest, and is gorgeous in your garden. It is much larger than 'Golden Midget,' with fruit weighing 8-25 lbs. An extraordinary variety with pink flesh and a built-in ripeness indicator. The tasty pinkish-red flesh is super-sweet, crisp, and refreshing. It was developed from the "Pumpkin Rind" variety, a now-extinct, early American watermelon.
