This is a yellow-fleshed, "icebox" sized watermelon that grows to 5-8 lbs. This variety was bred for northern growers by genius plant breeder Dr. Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds in Oregon. He bred Early Moonbeam by dehybridizing Yellow Doll Hybrid watermelon, maintaining sweetness and earliness. A good choice for gardeners trying to maximize their space, Early Moonbeam sets fruit on shorter, highly productive vines. Rind is thin, mostly a light green color interspersed with dark green stripes.
