WATERMELON: SWEET SIBERIAN

(CITRULLUS LANATUS)

A Russian variety which, as the name suggests is very tolerant of cool climates! Not only that but it ripens early…in just 10 weeks! Sweet Siberian produces oblong fruits weighing up to 6kg, with dark green skin and truly aromatic apricot flesh. A sweet and juicy joy!
