Sunsweet F1 watermelon — a mid-season, high-yielding hybrid developed by the Italian company Cora Seeds. The plant is strong-growing with a robust root system and abundant foliage, which effectively shields the fruit from direct sunlight. This variety is well-adapted for cultivation in open fields and greenhouses, resistant to temperature fluctuations and high solar activity, ensuring a stable yield even under challenging climatic conditions. The period from seedling transplanting to harvest is approximately 70-75 days. Sunsweet watermelon fruits have a round-oval shape and are uniform in size. The average weight of one fruit is 13-15 kg, although some specimens weigh 9-12 kg. The rind is moderately thick, dense, and striped, preventing cracking and making the fruits suitable for long-distance transportation. The flesh is bright red, dense, juicy, and very sweet, with a sugar content of 10-11%. Due to its flavor and nutritional qualities, Sunsweet watermelons retain freshness and beneficial properties for 1-2 months after harvest. This watermelon variety is versatile in use: it is ideal for fresh market sales during the main season, as well as for processing, canning, and pickling. Sunsweet F1 seeds are suitable for planting in various regions, making this hybrid accessible and popular among gardeners and farmers. The seed packaging contains 10 to 40 seeds per gram, allowing optimal planting planning and stable yields.
