This is a mini watermelon you can eat in one go!
A medium-vigorous plant with a medium-early ripening cycle. Round, dark green, streaked fruits with deep red flesh.
Average fruit weight: 2-2.5 kg - Sweetness: good (often with a Brix level above 10)
Transplant the plants 0.7-1.0 m apart along the row and 2-2.5 m between the rows.
Piccolina produces 4-5 fruits per plant in staggered rows, allowing for a harvest period of about 2 weeks. When kept cool, ripe fruits last up to 6-7 days. The staggered ripening and healthy plant allow for significant harvest consistency, with the fruits always well-nourished and therefore of a very pleasant flavor and color.
