The Watermelon Firework is an early-ripening hybrid that matures 75-80 days after cotyledon opening. The plant is compact, with the main shoot reaching about 1.5 meters in length; it is recommended to shape the bush into two vines. Each vine produces one to two fruits weighing from 2.5 to 4 kilograms. The fruits have a round shape with smooth light-green rind decorated with blurred lace-like dark-green stripes.
The watermelon flesh is rich yellow in color, possesses a pleasant tender texture and high sugar and carotene content, which gives the fruits excellent taste qualities. The hybrid is resistant to anthracnose and tolerant to fusarium wilt, and also withstands abiotic stress factors well. To improve fruit setting in protected ground conditions, manual pollination is recommended.
Planting density is one plant per 1.5-2 square meters, which ensures a yield of about 5 kilograms per square meter. Due to its characteristics and disease resistance, the Firework watermelon is an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers seeking to obtain a high-quality and tasty crop in an early period.
