The 'Unusual' watermelon is a mid-season variety with large fruits of an oval-cylindrical shape, weighing from 8 to 10 kg and more. The fruit skin is smooth and dark green, while the flesh is intensely pink, with a grainy structure, tender and juicy consistency. The sugar content in the flesh is about 8.5%, which gives the watermelon a very sweet taste, and the dry matter content varies from 8 to 10%. The tasting score of the variety reaches 4.5-5.0 points, confirming the high quality of the fruits.
The variety is characterized by stable high yield, reaching 35-40 tons per hectare, and is suitable for growing in open ground. Plants are quite compact, with a main vine of medium length, which facilitates care and harvesting. The first crop of fruits occurs 85-95 days after the appearance of seedlings, allowing for harvest within optimal times.
A feature of the variety is its high resistance to diseases such as anthracnose and fusarium, which contributes to maintaining plant health and fruit quality. Watermelons are well stored and transported, making the variety attractive for commercial growing and marketing. Due to the combination of high yield, excellent taste qualities, and disease resistance, 'Unusual' is a reliable choice for gardeners and farmers.
