The Celine F1 watermelon is an ultra-early Crimson Sweet type hybrid developed by the French breeding company Clause. This variety is characterized by a short growing period — the first crop can be harvested as early as 60 days after seedling planting. The plant has good growth energy and long stems, forming 2-3 uniform fruits of round-oval shape with striped rinds. The average weight of watermelons is 8-10 kg, and the 10-12 mm thick rind is highly durable, providing reliable fruit protection.
The flesh of the Celine F1 watermelon is dark red, dense, and crisp, without veins and with a small amount of seeds. It has a high sugar content — 10-11%, giving the fruits a rich sweet taste and pleasant texture. Thanks to these qualities, watermelons are suitable for both fresh consumption and processing or pickling. The fruits stay on the vine well, do not crack, allowing them to withstand transportation and long-term storage without loss of taste and commercial properties.
The Celine F1 hybrid is distinguished by high adaptability to various growing conditions and soil types, as well as resistance to diseases such as fusarium wilt and anthracnose. This makes it an excellent choice for growing in different regions and under film coverings. High productivity, superior taste, and stable fruit quality make the Celine F1 watermelon in demand both in the fresh market and for industrial use.
