We may grow this fruit in warm climate yards like in our areas. The best time to grow is March to April.
However, the growing seasons also good in the late summer to early fall. If we are planting from seed, the harvest takes about 90 days.
It is quite surprising that the fruits could reach 20 to 30 pounds in weight, might relate to fertilizer.
The taste was slightly different compared to "red meat" watermelon and it also had a smoother texture.

Luckily, rats and squirrels don't like this fruit. But yes, we can also buy a plastic shell for our melons protection or to shape them.
