thank you for my latest delivery... the 'tumbleberries' are a joy, so healthy and settled in very quickly.
PJS, London
Supplied as a packet of 8 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.Dating back to the 1950's, this variety has long been popular in the US. Over here it is probably the one thing that causes the most surprise with visitors to our nursery when they see them growing here. "You can't grow watermelons in the UK can you?" The answer is of course yes!
The elongated fruits can grow to up to 2 feet (60 cm) long and have a grey-green skin; inside the flesh is pinky-orange and is perfectly crisp and juicy.
Growing more like a pumpkin or squash, the plant needs to be allowed to sprawl in as sunnier spot as possible - ideally under protection (greenhouse, polytunnel or similar) though a really warm and sunny sheltered spot outside should also be fine.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
