Watermelon Charleston Grey

Charleston Grey watermelon seeds develop into robust vines producing elongated, light green fruits with exceptional disease resistance. These classic melons mature in 85-90 days, yielding 20-35 pound fruits with bright red flesh, minimal seeds, and superior sweetness. Seeds require consistent soil temperatures above 70°F for optimal germination, establishing extensive root systems that enhance drought tolerance. Their Fusarium wilt resistance and excellent shipping qualities have maintained this variety's commercial importance since its introduction in the 1950s.
