You'll have lots of thick slices for those late summer barbecues and picnics This open-pollinated melon, developed by renowned watermelon breeder Charles Andrus, of the USDA in Charleston, SC, was the first to be resistant to both Fusarium wilt and anthracnose disease. Greenish-gray rind protects melon from sunburn. It is still affectionately called that gray melon from Charleston. Fruits average 22 to 26 in long and 25 to 35 pounds.
