Red Heaven F1 Watermelon — a mid-season, high-yielding hybrid developed by the Dutch brand Seminis, designed for cultivation in open ground during the summer season. The maturity period is approximately 68-72 days after seedling transplanting. The plant features a powerful root system and strong stems that form long, leafy vines with a high number of fruit sets. The hybrid is resistant to stress and diseases, including fusarium and anthracnose, and thrives even on heavy soils with minimal care. Red Heaven F1 watermelon fruits have a round shape, weighing from 12 to 16 kg, with a dense dark green rind decorated with medium-thickness light green stripes. The flesh is deep red, juicy, aromatic, and crisp, with a high sugar content of 11-12%, ensuring a pleasant taste and good texture. The watermelon is characterized by high uniformity in fruit shape and size, as well as resistance to hollow formation around seeds, which are small and insignificant. The Red Heaven F1 hybrid boasts excellent transportability and maintains its flavor and market qualities during long-term storage and long-distance transport. Fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for pickling and canning. High yield and plant resistance allow reducing cultivation costs, making this variety attractive for commercial production, whether grown through seedlings or direct sowing in the ground.
