Cuban queen watermelons are greenish-white with green stripes.
Few things beat the sense of pleasure and accomplishment you get from harvesting home-grown fruits and vegetables. Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is an easy-to-grow crop that rarely fails to produce delicious fruits, and Cuban queen is an early bearing, heirloom variety with especially crisp, sweet flesh that grows as an annual in all parts of the United States.
Cuban Queen
Citrullus lanatus,Cuban queen watermelon, also called Dixie queen, was first introduced in the late 1800s. It’s also referred to as white-seeded Cuban queen because, unlike most watermelons that have black seeds, its seeds are pure white. The plant grows as a spreading vine and has fruit ready for picking about 80 or 90 days after planting. Its watermelons tend to be more round-to-oblong and are white-to-pale-green, with dark green stripes along their surfaces. The fruits are quite large, each about 15 inches in length and weighing up to 35 pounds, and filled with scarlet red flesh that’s crisp and especially sweet.
Planting
If your area is prone to cool spring temperatures, you can start Cuban queen seedlings indoors about 2 or 3 weeks before your last frost, sowing 1 or 2 seeds in a peat pot filled with sterile potting soil or soil-less seed-starting mix. Once seedlings appear, keep the mix slightly moist and the pots in a brightly lit window, turning them occasionally to keep stems growing straight. Move your seedlings into their final location when outdoor temperatures remain about 60 F, but allow them to harden off by keeping them in a partially shaded spot for about a week before planting. You can also direct-sow seeds in the garden once soil has warmed to about 70 F. To allow enough room for the vines to grow, space seeds or seedlings about 3 feet apart.
Water
For best growth of its vine, a Cuban queen plant needs regular, deep watering during its first 3 or 4 weeks in the garden to establish a good root system. Once fruit has set and you see small watermelons on the plant, cut back watering to once a week, because too much water can dilute the sugar developing in the fruit and result in less flavorful melons. Watering the roots directly with a soaker hose or drip irrigation system is helpful in preventing fungal diseases such as fusarium wilt that can develop on watermelon vines in excessively humid conditions.
