Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a diploid plant that is not used to produce marketable fruit intended for consumption. Its primary role is to produce high-quality pollen for pollinating seedless hybrids in interplanting schemes.

The plant has a compact or dwarf growth habit. It is characterized by shortened internodes and shorter vines compared to fruit-bearing watermelon varieties. Information regarding its taste qualities, marketability characteristics of the fruit, or disease resistance is unavailable.
