Yellow Moon and Stars Watermelon (Certified Organic)

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

These watermelons are like large, magical dinosaur eggs. The 15-25 pound oblong fruits are covered with stars and some moons, overlaid on a faint netting. Inside color ranges from lighter yellow to bright orange – the flesh is sweet and delicious, with a light apricot flavor.

Yellow Moon and Stars is a Georgia heirloom commercially introduced in 1987 by Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. We’ve grown seed crops at Twin Oaks Seed Farm for a number of years and it has been one of our favorites. The plants have good downy mildew resistance, better than the red moon and stars varieties, which have more northern origins. 230 seeds/oz.
