Watermelon, Charleston Gray

87 days. One of the best All-American watermelons of all time! Super-sweet and full-flavored! This popular variety dates to 1954. The long gray-green fruit grows to 20-40 lbs; the red flesh is virtually fiber-free and very tasty. Yields are very good, and melons are excellent for home or market.
