I cut into the Carolina Cross melon that was grown on a grafted rootstock. The flesh was solid as a rock all the way across, there was no "cross" shaped hollow heart at all. Generally speking, Most of my Carolina Crosses have hollow hearts. (All were hollow this year) I am thinking that the grafts do a better job of filling out the melon and this could be why the Italian record melons have been going heavy. This is pretty interesting to me.
