Desert King is an open-pollinated, heirloom variety watermelon with a light, pea-green rind surrounding gorgeous yellow to orange flesh.
While most varieties of watermelons, being made up of about 92% water, require deep and consistent irrigation, Desert King grows well in hot, arid regions while still managing to produce 20 pound fruits that are reliably sweet and juicy
Resistant to sun scald. Holds well for about one month or so on the vine, and store very well for a considerable time after harvesting.
85 days to maturity.
