What new watermelon varieties are there? Introduction to the latest watermelon varieties

There are many kinds of watermelons and a great number of varieties, especially the red-fleshed varieties, which come in all sorts of types and are usually hard to tell apart, while there are far fewer yellow-fleshed watermelon varieties. Basically, new varieties appear every few years, and different countries and regions also develop new varieties. Now I will introduce some new watermelon varieties developed in recent years, so you can get to know them.

1. Black Samurai

Black Samurai watermelon is a new watermelon variety from the Zhenjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It belongs to the black-skinned watermelons, with a dark green rind that is close to black. Its main advantage is that the fruit is firm; a ripe watermelon will not split even under heavy pressure, yet the rind is not very thick. The flesh is fine-textured and juicy, and bright red in color.

2. Chunfeng

Developed and bred by a company in Anhui, it is a hybrid early-to-mid maturing watermelon. Its main features are dark green toothed stripes on the rind, and a relatively thick rind of more than 1 cm. The fruit sets relatively heavy. The sweetness is moderate. Its advantages are vigorous growth, good storage tolerance, and the fruit does not split easily.

3. Qiaoling

A new variety developed in the Hangzhou area, mainly suitable for protected facility cultivation and suitable for creeping cultivation. The fruit has a good appearance, and the fruit quality is also very good. At present, it has not been promoted far; it is mainly planted in spring within the local province. The advantages of the fruit are that it is juicy, low in fiber, and sweeter the closer you get to the center.

4. Xinxiu

A new watermelon variety bred by a company in Shandong. Its features are a rind with toothed stripes in dark green, with exaggerated toothed stripes, and bright red flesh, with medium-sized fruit. Its advantages are high nutrient content, cold tolerance, shade tolerance, and a crisp, crunchy taste. The yield is relatively high and tends to increase. It is especially suitable for facility cultivation.

In recent years, some new varieties have been developed, but many may not have been promoted for planting, and some may not be suitable for promotion and planting. However, I believe that good varieties will be promoted sooner or later, their planting area will expand, and people can also accumulate some work experience.
