The Corall watermelon variety belongs to ultra-early varieties with a maturation period from germination to harvest of 70-77 days. The plant is short-stemmed, reaching a length of 1.5-2 meters, which facilitates care and fruit harvesting. The fruits have a round, slightly flattened shape and weigh 2-3 kilograms. The rind is thin, dark green, smooth, and of high quality, giving the watermelon an attractive appearance.
The flesh of the Corall watermelon is characterized by a bright red color, juiciness, and a granular structure. It has a rich sweet taste, making this variety especially valuable for fresh consumption. Additionally, the watermelon is suitable for making jam, jelly, pickling, and producing watermelon honey, known as nadek.
The Corall variety is distinguished by high resistance to diseases such as anthracnose and powdery mildew, which ensures a stable yield reaching 3.5-5 kg per square meter. The recommended planting scheme is 50x140 cm, and sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out in April-May, followed by transplanting into open ground in May-June. Harvesting usually takes place in August-September.
