Citrullus lanatus
2 gram heirloom seed package. About 16-20 seeds
Legacy produces high yields of big 25-35 pound fruits that are striped bright green on a darker green rind color.
Uniform oblong shape.
Flesh holds well, very firm, pink-red and sweet.
Brix 12 in our trials (sugar reading). Most melons score about 7-9.
Excellent shelf life and a great shipper.
Resist Sunburn. Resistance to Fusarium Wilt.
One of the best melons in our 2013 trials for productivity, disease resistance and sweetness. It was one of the highest Brix at 12. Highly recommended.
If I could grow only one watermelon Legacy would be the one. Out performs most hybrid watermelons in my opinion. Farmer John
A PVP variety. This means no seed saving on this variety. People, or Universities spend many years and funds to create a new Open Pollinated variety. This license allows them to make back their investment for 18 years. This is not a GE var. nor is it the same. After the 18 years the license expires and it becomes public domain. MANY OP/heirloom varieties have gone down this road. Plant breeders and investors need to have a way to earn a living and make back their investment. We support this reasonable approach and find it to be a win-win for everyone.
