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.
