Stardust Watermelon (Certified Organic)

Grown by Twin Oaks Seed Farm – Citrullus lanatus – 90 days

We’ve been affectionately saving this beautiful selection from Yellow Moon and Stars for three years now at Twin Oaks Seed Farm. In addition to the yellow stars and moons they have a netted background that makes them look like some of those colorful pictures of distant galaxies taken by space telescopes. We were trying to think of names involving stars and stripes, and then galaxies, before landing on Stardust. The melons have sweet yellow interiors and average 15 pounds.  Around a third of the melons will have the darker green coloration (along with yellow moons and stars) typical of Yellow Moon and Stars, a percentage that will decrease over time as we continue selection. Yellow Moon and Stars originates from Georgia and the Caribbean, and these have correspondingly disease tolerant foliage. May this watermelon help you get yourself back to the garden. 8 seeds/gram.
