Sugar Baby is a classic watermelon variety known for its sweet, juicy fruits with dark green skin and vibrant salmon-colored flesh. The fruits can weigh up to 3 kg, making them perfect for individual enjoyment or sharing. This variety thrives with the use of black mulching material, which promotes growth and ripening. It requires warm climates for outdoor cultivation; otherwise, greenhouse growing is recommended for full fruit development. Harvest only when the runners and fruit stem have dried out to ensure optimal ripeness. Sugar Baby watermelons can be stored for up to ten days at 8-10°C.
