'Georgia Rattlesnake' watermelon has oblong fruits that weigh an average of 30 pounds. They have a beautiful rind with wavy, light and dark green stripes. The rosy-red flesh is sweet and crisp. This late-season variety is worth waiting for!
My favorite thing about 'Georgia Rattlesnake' is the oblong shape, which makes it easy to slice. This wonderful American heirloom has been popular since the 1830s.
