Citrullus lanatus
HEIRLOOM. Odell’s White is an enormous watermelon that is not very heavily seeded for its size, and its sweet, smooth flesh makes for excellent eating enjoyment! Fruits can weigh in at up to 60 pounds, and have pale green, almost gray, skin. The rind is almost an inch thick, making it great for pickling! We know from a historical account that this variety was developed by an unnamed enslaved plant breeder at the plantation owned by Col. A.G. Summer in Pomaria, SC in the 1840s. Its name comes from a Summer family friend, Milton O’Dell, who popularized the variety by winning many a contest with the melon’s immense size and sweetness. It seems probable that some other plant varieties developed in the American South before 1860 might have similar hidden origins, though this history is little-known.
1.5 gram packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

Great flavor and price

I liked the taste and that it was well packaged. Better than another hulled hemp product in a similar packaging I ordered before.
