Summary of Trial Feedback
A curated summary of all trial feedback for this variety.
It did very well. I plan on putting at least one third of my acres in Sandbar next year. - GA Best vine of all varieties I had this year. Internals were great. Like the rind color. Yielded very well. - NC This is a good watermelon. Looks a little earlier than Troubadour. Wants to look a larger block of it next year on new ground. Says this variety is definitely more susceptible to fusarium and cannot grow in field with fusarium is known to be present. – Central FL
