Bingenheimer Saatgut Watermelon "Sugar Baby"

As the name suggests, "Sugar Baby" is famous for its exceptional sweetness, with juicy red flesh hidden beneath a distinctively dark green rind. The fruits weigh up to 3 kg and can be stored for approximately 10 days after harvest if kept at a cool temperature of 8–10°C.

Cultivation Tips: Outdoor cultivation is most successful in warmer regions; in cooler climates, the fruit may not fully ripen. Using black mulch or landscape fabric can significantly boost growth and speed up ripening by trapping soil heat. To encourage fruiting, the main stem can be "pinched out" after the 4th leaf, and the resulting side shoots should be trimmed back after their 3rd leaf. While the plant can trail freely along the ground, place ripening fruits on a wooden board or a bed of straw mulch to prevent rot. Harvest time is here once the small tendril nearest the fruit stem has completely withered and turned brown.
