Watermelon Variety Descriptions

Days to Maturity were measured from transplanting to harvest.

Brix is a measure of sweetness, where 7.8 – 8.2 is somewhat sweet, 8.3 – 9.0 is sweet, and >9.0 is very sweet.

Ave. Fruit Wt. was based on all marketable fruit.

These trials were conducted both at Mount Vernon and Vancouver but the varieties were not all the same in both trials. Where data is available from both sites, the number in green is from Mount Vernon (2016) and the number in black is from Vancouver (2004-2005).
