Kordofan melons from Sudan are the closest relatives and may be progenitors of modern, cultivated watermelons. Wild watermelon seeds were found in Uan Muhuggiag, a prehistoric site in Libya that dates to approximately 3500 BC. Watermelons were domesticated in north-east Africa, and cultivated in Egypt by 2000 BC, although they were not the sweet modern variety. Sweet dessert watermelons spread across the Mediterranean world during Roman times.

Many 5000-year-old wild watermelon seeds (C. lanatus) were discovered at Uan Muhuggiag, a prehistoric archaeological site located in southwestern Libya. This archaeobotanical discovery may support the possibility that the plant was more widely distributed in the past.

In the 7th century, watermelons were being cultivated in India, and by the 10th century had reached China. The Moors introduced the fruit into the Iberian Peninsula, and there is evidence of it being cultivated in Córdoba in 961 and also in Seville in 1158. It spread northwards through southern Europe, perhaps limited in its advance by summer temperatures being insufficient for good yields. The fruit had begun appearing in European herbals by 1600, and was widely planted in Europe in the 17th century as a minor garden crop.

Early watermelons were not sweet, but bitter, with yellowish-white flesh. They were also difficult to open. Through breeding, watermelons later tasted better and were easier to open.

European colonists and enslaved people from Africa introduced the watermelon to the New World. Spanish settlers were growing it in Florida in 1576. It was being grown in Massachusetts by 1629, and by 1650 was being cultivated in Peru, Brazil and Panama. Around the same time, Native Americans were cultivating the crop in the Mississippi valley and Florida. Watermelons were rapidly accepted in Hawaii and other Pacific islands when they were introduced there by explorers such as Captain James Cook. In the Civil War era United States, watermelons were commonly grown by free African people and became one symbol for the abolition of slavery. After the Civil War, African people were maligned for their association with watermelon. The sentiment evolved into a racist stereotype where Africn people shared a supposed voracious appetite for watermelon, a fruit long correlated with laziness and uncleanliness.

Seedless watermelons were initially developed in 1939 by Japanese scientists who were able to create seedless triploid hybrids which remained rare initially because they did not have sufficient disease resistance. Seedless watermelons became more popular in the 21st century, rising to nearly 85% of total watermelon sales in the United States in 2014

A melon from the Kordofan region of Sudan – the kordofan melon – may be the progenitor of the modern, domesticated watermelon. The kordofan melon shares with the domestic watermelon loss of the bitterness gene, while maintaining a sweet taste, unlike other wild African varieties from other regions, indicating a common origin, possibly cultivated in the Nile Valley by 4360 BP (before present)

You can live off this fruit for days with nothing else. But don't believe me, believe what you find when you do your own research!

Origin and emergence of the sweet dessert watermelon, Citrullus lanatus

Abstract

Background and Aims Watermelons, Citrullus species (Cucurbitaceae), are native to Africa and have been cultivated since ancient times. The fruit flesh of wild watermelons is watery, but typically hard-textured, pale-coloured and bland or bitter. The familiar sweet dessert watermelons, C. lanatus, featuring non-bitter, tender, well-coloured flesh, have a narrow genetic base, suggesting that they originated from a series of selection events in a single ancestral population. The objective of the present investigation was to determine where dessert watermelons originated and the time frame during which sweet dessert watermelons emerged.

Key Findings Archaeological remains of watermelons, mostly seeds, that date from 5000 years ago have been found in northeastern Africa. An image of a large, striped, oblong fruit on a tray has been found in an Egyptian tomb that dates to at least 4000 years ago. The Greek word pepon, Latin pepo and Hebrew avattiah of the first centuries ce were used for the same large, thick-rinded, wet fruit which, evidently, was the watermelon. Hebrew literature from the end of the second century ce and Latin literature from the beginning of the sixth century ce present watermelons together with three sweet fruits: figs, table grapes and pomegranates. Wild and primitive watermelons have been observed repeatedly in Sudan and neighbouring countries of northeastern Africa.

Conclusions The diverse evidence, combined, indicates that northeastern Africa is the centre of origin of the dessert watermelon, that watermelons were domesticated for water and food there over 4000 years ago, and that sweet dessert watermelons emerged in Mediterranean lands by approximately 2000 years ago. Next-generation ancient-DNA sequencing and state-of-the-art genomic analysis offer opportunities to rigorously assess the relationships among ancient and living wild and primitive watermelons from northeastern Africa, modern sweet dessert watermelons and other Citrullus taxa.

INTRODUCTION

Watermelons, Citrullus Schrad., are among the most widely grown vegetable crops in the warmer parts of the world (Maynard, 2001; Wehner et al., 2001; Wehner, 2008). Over 3 400 000 hectares are planted annually, with production exceeding 102 000 000 t (http://faostat.fao.org/site/339/default.aspx). Few food items are as refreshing and appreciated on hot summer days as chilled slices of watermelon.

Citrullus (2n = 2x = 22) is a xerophytic genus native to Africa (Whitaker and Davis, 1962; Robinson and Decker-Walters, 1997). Other cultivated members of the genus, besides the familiar sweet dessert watermelon, are the citron and egusi watermelons and the colocynth (Jeffrey, 2001). The sweet dessert watermelon, though, has considerably less DNA sequence polymorphism than the others (Maggs-Kölling et al., 2000; Levi et al., 2000, 2001; Dane et al., 2004, 2007; Hwang et al., 2011; Nimmakayala et al., 2014a, b), indicating that it originated from a single founder population. The progenitor of the sweet dessert watermelon has been widely believed to be the colocynth or the citron watermelon and, recently, genomic sequencing has fostered the suggestion that the progenitor is the egusi watermelon (Guo et al., 2013). Another widely held belief is that sweet watermelons first diffused to Europe via Moorish Spain somewhat prior to 961 ce, from the Indian subcontinent, facilitated by Islamic conquests (Watson, 1983). However, there is much evidence showing that the history of the sweet dessert watermelon matches none of the above beliefs concerning progenitor or geographic origin. My objective is to gather and assess this evidence, and trace the origin and emergence of the sweet dessert watermelon.

¿Cuánto tiempo tarda en dar la sandía?

La recolección en la sandía suele comenzar a los 80-100 días desde la plantación, dependiendo de cultivares, fechas de plantación, climatología, etc. Entre la fecundación y la recolección transcurre un periodo de 35-40 días en sandía sin injertar y una semana más en sandía injertada.

¿Dónde se da la sandía en España?

Las zonas importantes de cultivo se encuentran en Almería para cultivo en invernadero y en Valencia para cultivo al aire libre.

¿Cómo se llama la sandía desde el punto de vista botánico?

La sandía [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai var. lanatus], conocida también como melón de agua o patilla, es una planta dicotiledónea, herbácea y anual que pertenece a la familia botánica Cucurbitaceae.

¿Qué fecha se siembra la sandía?

La sandía se siembra desde la segunda quincena del mes de septiembre a la primera quincena del mes de octubre. El método que se utiliza es de siembra directa. Antiguamente se fertilizaba con abonos naturales de ganado vacuno y caballar.

¿Cuánto hay que regar la sandía?

·Riego de la sandía Las sandías necesitan diferentes patrones de riego según su estadío: Al inicio de la plantación: riegos abundantes de unos 20-30 minutos. Cuando la planta coge fuerza: riegos más ligeros cada 2-3 días.

¿Dónde están las mejores sandías?

La Tierra Prometida de una buena Sandía es Almería específicamente, en El Ejido, una zona líder en la producción de cientos de frutas, hortalizas y más, tiene miles de hectáreas preparadas para dar a la luz a las mejores sandías en España.

¿Cómo distinguir las sandías de Marruecos?

Las sandías de Marruecos son aquellas de forma ovalada y de color verde a rayas. En Marruecos las llaman "melonas" por su forma. Como su nombre indica las sandías son originarias de Marruecos, concretamente la temporada comienza en Zagora y continúa por Tarudant, Chichaoua y otras ciudades y provincias de Marruecos.

¿Qué abono echarle a melones y sandías?

Abono NK 5,2-50 sólido con alta concentración en potasio con EDTA. Aplicar en riego localizado a razón de 5 kg/ha, realizando 1 ó 2 aplicaciones, espaciadas en 7 días, una vez que el fruto ha detenido su crecimiento. Las dosis se pueden aumentar hasta 15 L/ha.

Watermelons Planting And How to Grow

Because watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) need a long period of warm weather to grow well, they tend to be more popular in warmer climates with long growing seasons. However, gardeners in colder climates can still have success in growing watermelons by starting seeds indoors or purchasing young plants from a nursery, and by growing shorter-season varieties. Depending on the variety of watermelon, it can take between 70 and 100 days to go from planting to harvest. How to Plant Watermelons - Sow seeds 1/2 to 1 inch deep outdoors or 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in seed-starting pots indoors. Tip: To allow for more root growth, use larger starting pots than you would for most seeds. Also, consider using compostable pots that can be cut away or planted directly in the garden, as this will minimize the risk of damaging seedlings’ tender roots during transplanting. - If direct seeding outdoors, sow 4 to 6 seeds per hill, eventually thinning to 2 to 3 seedlings.   HOW TO Watering Watering is very important—from planting until fruit begins to form. While melon plants are growing, blooming, and setting fruit, they need 1 to 2 inches of water per week. Keep soil moist, but not waterlogged. Water at the vine’s base in the morning, and try to avoid wetting the leaves and avoid overhead watering. Reduce watering once fruit are growing. Dry weather produces the sweetest melon. Fertilizing If you choose to fertilize (and many do), make sure it delivers more nitrogen than phosphorus and potassium, as this will encourage leaf and vine growth. However, after flowering begins, use a fertilizer with less nitrogen to instead encourage flowers and fruit. We like to use a seaweed-based fertilizer. Flowering and Fruiting Vines produce male and female flowers separately on the same plant. They often begin producing male flowers several weeks before the females appear. Do not be concerned if the male flowers fall off. The female flowers (which have a swollen bulb at the base) will stay on the vine and bear fruit. Blossoms require pollination to set fruit, so be kind to the bees! Learn how to support pollinators in your garden. As the fruit is ripening, prevent rotting by gently lifting it and putting cardboard or straw between the fruit and the soil. Read the full article

According to the farmers, the most difficult task in managing watermelon cultivation is the work of the side branches. In order to ensure that the vines that have good attachments are well nourished, the vines that grow like a maze are traced one by one and the branches are removed. By winding the vine into a loop; This seems to produce excellent produce with consistent taste. I work carefully one by one while bending down.

#1841 - Citrullus amarus - Pig Melon

AKA Pie Melon

Despite the large size and resemblance to the watermelon Citrullus lanatus, probably not edible. Although it used to be included in the same species as the watermelon, and the taxonomy of the genus is a little annoying. 

Native to the arid parts of sub-Saharan Africa, but present in Australia since at least 1836. It may have been introduced here as camel food. Now found over most of the continent.

A bunch of OC !

I changed most of the names, but they’re based on what I got from the gloomverse character generator !

Thuja Plicata is now named Citrullus Lanatus,or Lana for short, and they have watermelon hair, because I thought it would be cute if Hair Tie (or Tie for short (it’s a nickname)) got watermelon magic because of their crush on Lana ^^

Not pictured here, but Tie’s hat is a bowler hat (chapeau melon [melon hat] in french)

I changed Cup’s name to Spring, tho I’m also considering Ela(stic)

Aurora is now Sol. He’s wearing yellow and named himself Sol (short for soleil [sun], but can also means ground) as a ‘fuck you’ to stratoverse.

Hair Tie is Spring and Sol’s kid ! They got the nickname ‘Hair Tie’ because of all the rubber bands their mom used to style their hair :)

Today’s children!

We have -

From Zaprifabi and Mirabelle, and so tapir/striation/crackle,

Cara (fae female), named for the cara cara navel orange, for her pink and tangerine colouring

Cara Cara oranges look like this -

Then, two from Myoga and Purslane, so one has the smoke gene and the other ringlets,

Suika (spiral male), named for Citrullus lanatus 'Japanese Cream-Fleshed Suika', watermelon, for his wings that look like watermelon skin and his white colouring

Japanese Cream-Fleshed Suika watermelon look like this -

Makuwa (spiral male), named for Korean melon, Cucumis melo var. makuwa, cs since they’re brothers I thought they ought both be named for melons, and for his colouring

Korean melons look like this -

I’m thinking I’ll keep Cara, cs I have plenty of pink male dragons but barely any pink female dragons, and Suika’s pear peregrine gene is too perfect for his plant to let him go, but Makuwa will probably go to the AH (even tho he is very pretty)
