This is more of a conversation piece than a watermelon. When I grew them, they were so small as to be practically pointless, about the size of a grapefruit. The flavor was not very good either. Not at all sweet. It is easy to tell when they are ripe though. If want to grow something different for the sake of being different, then you may want to give them a try.
