Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) 'Nanoor F1' – Ultra-Early, High-Quality Mini Watermelon with Intense Sweetness

Citrullus lanatus 'Nanoor F1' is a modern, professional F1 hybrid mini watermelon known for its exceptionally early ripening, compact growth, and intensely sweet flavor. This variety was specifically developed for growers who want to achieve a high yield of high-quality small watermelons in a short time. Thanks to its strong resistance, uniform fruit, and reliable production, 'Nanoor F1' is suitable for both home gardeners and commercial growers.

Features of 'Nanoor F1'

'Nanoor F1' produces small, round watermelons weighing approximately 1.5 to 3 kg, making them ideal for portion sizes. The rind is dark green with fine, lighter stripes and has a firm texture that provides excellent protection during growth, transport, and storage.

When cut open, the beautiful, deep-red, juicy flesh is revealed, distinguished by its very high Brix level. This melon is among the sweetest mini watermelons in its category. The texture is firm yet melting, virtually fiber-free, and exceptionally refreshing. The seeds are small and present in limited quantities, making them easy to eat.

Early and vigorous growth

One of the biggest advantages of 'Nanoor F1' is its exceptionally early ripening. Even in cooler summers or shorter growing seasons, this plant easily develops juicy, excellent-quality fruits. This makes 'Nanoor F1' a reliable choice in northwestern Europe and other regions with unpredictable weather.

Growth and cultivation characteristics:

  • Location: full sun, preferably at least 6–8 hours of light

  • Soil: humus-rich, airy and perfectly drained

  • Temperature: Optimal growth at 24–30 °C

  • Water: water regularly, without wetting the leaves

  • Planting distance: 80–100 cm for compact cultivation

The compact plant structure means the plant grows less tall than traditional watermelons, making it suitable for gardens with limited space, raised beds, polytunnels and even cultivation in large pots.

Strong resistance and reliable production

'Nanoor F1' is known for its high disease resistance and vigorous growth, resulting in more uniform fruits per plant. The plant is highly tolerant to stressors such as fluctuating temperatures, periods of drought, and hot spells.

This results in:

  • Constant fruit formation

  • Little loss due to disease or fungi

  • Uniform quality from the first to the last fruit
