Overall Taste Yield Ease	Richmond, Georgia, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
This cultivar is considered the largest of the Watsons. Primarily a bragging melon as the taste is rather average. Like most of the giant melons, it has to get rather large to have much flavor. It is easy to grow and with good conditions and pruning to one melon per vine will exceed one hundred lbs.
