Daytona is an early maturing All Sweet type F1 hybrid watermelon, with excellent yield potential. Fruit are uniform, short oblong in shape, and weigh 10 – 12 kg. The medium-thick rind is tough, making it highly suitable for long-distance shipping. Rind colour is dark green with thin lighter green stripes. Daytona’s flesh is bright red, firm, crispy, juicy, and has an excellent taste and a high Brix level of about 11 – 12 %. Daytona tends to resist sunburn and has a high resistance to Anthracnose (Co).
