Jubilee Watermelon is one of the most popular and iconic variety of watermelon, made popular by its improved, disease-resistant qualities and its beautiful oblong shape with alternating dark green and bright green stripes. This heirloom grows as big as 40 pounds in a growing season and nearly 2 feet long! The flesh is uniformly bright red, firm, and fine-textured, excellent for eating. Use the sweet watermelon meat to make delicious sliced and served fresh, grilled, pickled, in fruit salads or salsas, sorbets and margaritas.
