Blacktail Mountain Heirloom Watermelon was developed by Glenn Downs (of the Sand Hill Preservation Center) in Idaho in the cool summers of the 1970s. The quintessential icebox watermelon that sets the standard for flavor. This watermelon is loaded with a sweet flavor, and red flesh, and is most famous for being early to ripen: a mere 65 days. Excellent keeping quality and yields. Harvest just before ripe, and melons will finish off in storage. Keeps for up to two months. One of the best I have ever tried!!!
