The Charleston Gray watermelon is a true summer favorite! Known for its sweet, juicy flesh and vibrant green exterior, this heirloom variety originated in the 1950s. It’s famous for its crisp texture and low seed count, making it perfect for refreshing snacks and summer picnics. Growing up to 30 pounds, it’s not just big in size but also in flavor. The Charleston Gray thrives in warm climates and requires plenty of sunshine and space to spread out. Gardeners love it for its resilience against pests and diseases, making it relatively easy to cultivate.
