Sugar Baby Watermelon is the perfect icebox or picnic watermelon! This heirloom produces small green-black fruits with sweet, crisp, and juicy red flesh that are 8-10 pounds, about 7-10 inches in diameter—just the right size for fitting in the fridge or a picnic basket! Sugar Baby makes great personal watermelons for slicing, gifting, or as a decorative fruit bowl. Use the sweet watermelon meat fresh in fruit salads or salsas, pressed in sorbets and margaritas, grilled, or pickled.
