Contact SupplierWatermelons (Citrullus spp.) are prostrate, basally branched, softly hairy vines possessing deeply and roundly indented, blue–gray–green leaves, and branched tendrils. One flower is produced per stem node. At most nodes, a male flower is produced, but a female flower or hermaphroditic flower appears at every seventh or eighth node. Modern cultivars are monoecious, but some old cultivars are andromonoecious. The flowers are less showy than those of melon and cucumber, being a bit smaller and lighter yellow. Watermelons require a long, warm growing season to mature and are usually grown for the consumption of their fresh, edible fruit flesh. Unlike melons and pumpkins, the part consumed is the placental region, or endocarp. In some regions, consumption of the seeds is important, too.
