Variety characteristics:

• W1445 Shuangse Bingjiling Bicolor Ice Cream Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) is an early-maturing specialty watermelon selected for its unusual yellow flesh with a softly blushed pink-to-apricot center. Fruits are high-round with an attractive golden-yellow rind at maturity.
Under suitable growing conditions, the crop may reach maturity approximately 85–90 days after sowing, with fruit development requiring about 28 days after successful pollination. Fruits typically weigh approximately 11–13 lb, while larger specimens may approach 18 lb under favorable management.
At full maturity, the flesh is described as fine-textured, juicy and refreshing, with a light watermelon fragrance and relatively even sweetness from the center toward the rind. The original numeric soluble-solids statement is incomplete, so no specific Brix level is represented or guaranteed.
The yellow and pink color balance may vary with temperature, sunlight, maturity and growing conditions.
