Laplandia watermelon is a mid-season and super-yielding hybrid intended for cultivation in open ground and under temporary plastic covers. The plant is vining and is characterized by its resistance to low temperatures, which allows for successful cultivation in various climatic conditions. Seeds are recommended to be sown in early May for seedlings, and in southern regions - directly into open ground in April-May. Fruits ripen in approximately 58 days after germination, providing a fast and stable yield. Laplandia watermelon fruits have an oval or wide-elliptical shape with bright green skin adorned with dark green stripes. The weight of one fruit varies from 9 to 13 kilograms, making them quite large and attractive to consumers. The flesh is bright red, tender and granular, differing in high sweetness and rich aroma, ensuring excellent taste qualities. Due to these characteristics, Laplandia watermelon is popular among gardeners and buyers. One of the important advantages of this hybrid is its resistance to unfavorable growing conditions, including low temperatures. Fruits retain their marketable qualities for 20-30 days after harvesting, which facilitates their transportation and storage. High yield, reaching 4.9 kg per square meter on dry land, makes Laplandia a profitable choice for commercial growing and personal farms.
