Description: This delicious, extra sweet watermelon, with its apricot-colored flesh, crunchy texture, deep green rind, and short maturity period is a perfect choice for northern growers like those in the Northeast, and maybe even in Siberia. The oblong fruits can grow up to 10 pounds!History of Sweet Siberian Watermelon: Originally hailing from Russia, Sweet Siberian Watermelon was first offered in the US by Peter Henderson and Co. in 1898. The USDA maintains seed banks throughout the country that help researchers, breeders, and seed companies access a huge diversity of genetic material; it is a vital store of materials that have been collected from around the world. Glenn Drowns, director of the Sand Hill Preservation Center in Iowa, discovered this variety as a seed bank accession, quickly learning that it was an ideal orange-fleshed watermelon for his short-season area.
