Watermelon Gold in Gold F1

2017 AAS Edible-Vegetable Winner

“Eye-catching and fun” was one judge’s comment about “Gold in Gold” Watermelon. The fruit’s outer color is yellow with golden stripes while the inner flesh is a lovely orange/gold. Crisp texture with high sugar contents is also an advantage. This winner is an early producing, high yielding, and improved disease-resistant melon with a strong rind that resists cracking or bursting. The unique oblong shape of the 11-16 pound fruit makes it a perfect “icebox” watermelon and the tasty fruit is superior. Judges said, “We loved it!”

Reviews

  1. Rosss – 08/15/2020

    Hard to determine ripped melons. Super disappointed when we picked our first and it was not ripe. But when we got a ripe one, it was all worth it. Amazing taste all the way to the rind.

  2. AAS Display Garden- River Valley Master Gardeners – 08/16/2018

    This is a fun little melon. Sweet crisp yellow flesh and a thin rind. A bit of a challenge to determine ripeness as there is no yellow ‘ground spot’- the whole melon rind is yellow. After trial and error, we look for the dried tendril near the first set of leaves, and the yellow melon started to develop green areas as you can see in the photo. The leaves also have some yellow pigment which resembles foliage disease, but is normal for this variety. Zone 6a
