What is Jubilee watermelon known for?
Jubilee is a classic heirloom producing large, oblong, striped melons with bright red, sweet, crisp flesh, prized for both fresh eating and market growing.
How long until Jubilee watermelon is ripe?
Jubilee matures in about 90-95 days, so it favors long, warm summers. It is ripe when the tendril near the stem dries and the ground spot turns creamy yellow.
How big do Jubilee watermelons get?
These elongated melons commonly reach 25-40 pounds under good conditions, making Jubilee one of the larger home-garden watermelons.
How far apart should I space Jubilee plants?
Grow in hills of 2-3 plants 6-8 feet apart in full sun. The long vines need generous space, warm soil, and consistent moisture.
When should I plant Jubilee watermelon seeds?
Sow after all frost once soil is 70F or warmer, or start indoors 3-4 weeks early in warm-summer regions. Cold soil stunts melon growth.
How many seeds come in a packet and are they heirloom?
Each packet holds about 60 seeds of this open-pollinated, non-GMO heirloom, so seed can be saved from your best melons.
How large are the melons?
Long, oblong fruits usually reach 25–40 lb.
Does it store well?
