About This

• Compact Growth: Cal Sweet Bush watermelons are notable for their compact, bush-like growth habit, making them suitable for small gardens or container planting. They typically spread only 14-18 inches, which is much less than traditional watermelon varieties.
• Fruit Characteristics: These watermelons produce round fruits weighing between 5-12 pounds. They are known for their bright red, sweet, and crisp flesh, offering a classic watermelon flavor despite their smaller size.
• Awards and Recognition: The Cal Sweet Bush watermelon has been recognized as a winner in various selections, highlighting its quality and appeal. For instance, it was noted as a 2019 Regional All-America Selections (AAS) Winner, indicating its performance and taste stand out among other varieties.
• Planting and Care: They require about 85-90 days to maturity from seed and can be grown from transplants in about 65 days. The plant benefits from warm conditions, and like other watermelons, they should be planted in well-draining soil with plenty of space for the vines to grow, even if they are more compact.
