These are the 'Dixie Queen' melons grown on the grafted 'Shintosa camelforce' rootstock. They outperformed the other varieties grown on their own roots. They are nice and solid fruits. I will have to give the grafting another shot next year as I had some success with it. Although I would say it is still hard to tell if it is the holy grail for growing giant melons. My results with the Carolina Cross were inconclusive the only really impressive thing that I have seen from it is the diameter of the stump and vines coming off of the stump. They are huge!
