Watermelon – Premier Seedless Hybrid

$7.30$124.30

80-85 Days | Premier is a red fleshed triploid (seedless watermelon), round to slightly oblong and averages 14-18 Lb. Medium thin rind is glossy with medium to dark green stripes on a light green background and is a good shipper. Vines are hardy and yield well.

Please remember that seedless watermelon require a diploid (normal) watermelon to pollinate with. We normally recommend a variety visibly distinct, so as to avoid confusion. Since Premeir is a Crimson Sweet or Allsweet type, a dark rind melon like Sugar Baby or Black Diamond will be easiest to tell apart, or an obviously larger watermelon like Charleston Gray 133.

When planting out the seedlings, the standard is 2 to 1 triploid (seedless) to diploid (seeded) watermelons. If planting in rows, we plant the diploid in the center row, with the seedless triploids on either side to maximize pollination.You will not be charged shipping costs on products that have ‘free ship’ indicated in their title. Otherwise, shipping charges will be added during checkout based on the total weight of the order.

Description

When planting seedless watermelon, you will need to plant a pollinator (select from options below) alongside the triploid. Crimson Sweet and Allsweet are some of the most often used. Cross-pollination is most easily accomplished by sequencing rows of standard (diploid) melons across the field. The most common ratio is 1:3, one row of pollinator to 2 rows of seedless, or mixed in a 1:4 ratio if not planting in rows.

Seedless varieties are more sensitive to early season shocks, and we normally recommend starting them indoors rather than direct seeding.
