Matador F1
Simply put, we think Matador F1 is the best dark green watermelon available. Eighty Seven days to maturity in our trials, Matador F1 produces an elongated melon weighing 11-13 kilos. Beautiful internal appearance, medium sized black seeds appear in red, sweet flesh. External rind is dark green, with no stripes - the melon retains a fresher appearance in storage as a result. Tolerant/resistant to some races of Fusarium.

Solid dark green rind resembling Peacock Shipper, but Matador F1 has much better flesh quality.  Vigorous and high yielding vines.  A mid-season hybrid adapted to desert climates.
