Trending Now: Mini Seedless Watermelons
February 17, 2016 Personal watermelons currently account for about 15% of the U.S. watermelon market, and the percentage is steadily increasing.
Among the reasons for this growth are consumer enjoyment of the taste and convenience of the mini-watermelon, as well as the fact that American families are getting smaller. Recently, mini-watermelons have been capturing a market share away from the similar sized, regular melons.
Hazera Company, a leader in the seed industry, forecast this trend and offers its customers a range of mini-seedless watermelons of all sizes and textures.
In addition to ‘Ocelot,’ Hazera offers a selection of various sizes to meet customer requirements and diverse growing conditions. Here are some of Hazera’s wide selection of personal watermelon varieties:
‘Lynx’ (2-4 pounds) a micro watermelon noted for its excellent internal quality and attractive flesh color.
‘Serval’ (4-5 pounds) a mini-watermelon with excellent uniformity and flesh color.
‘Mielheart’ (4-6 pounds) with its good performance in cooler conditions and dark red flesh.
‘Leopard’ (5-7 pounds) a variety with high yields, well adapted to hot growing conditions, and noted for its long shelf life.
‘Extazy’ (5-7 pounds) a variety with firm and crunchy flesh, attractively red inside, with high yields and extra long shelf life.
‘Tigris’ (5-9 pounds) a variety which has a very attractive appearance, an excellent rind/flesh ratio, and a deep red internal color.
Over the coming year, Hazera plans to launch two new mini-watermelon varieties: ‘HA50024’ (4-6 pounds) a variety with high uniformity and high internal quality, and ‘HA50025’ (5-7 pounds) a superior tasting, high-yield variety. Both varieties have, as is true of all Hazera mini-watermelons, an intense red color and a very long shelf life.
Hazera also offers seeds of mini-watermelon varieties that also serve as pollinators – ‘Minipol’ and ‘Polimor.’
