How to distinguish a boy from a girl watermelon and choose one

How to determine gender

It's worth noting that there's no significant difference between male and female roses. The latter are identified by fewer seeds, although this characteristic is primarily related to the specific variety and growing conditions. This eliminates the need to overthink fundamental differences.

The difference in sex originates from differences in the development of the peduncle. Pollination is carried out using a different method. A peduncle may contain a stamen and pistil, or only stamens. A male flower develops from a peduncle that contained only a stamen. This stamen forms a digit, which pollinates the peduncle and produces a male ovary.

The female contains a hermaphroditic flower, which contains both male and female characteristics. The pistil and stamen do not require any intervention, as they often fuse. The number of sweet berries, each with male or female characteristics, depends on the variety chosen for planting.

The chemical composition studied showed that there was no difference between a boy and a watermelon with a female gene. It should be noted that the taste and juiciness of the flesh are also the same. The only difference is the shape.

How to choose a delicious watermelon for a girl

How to choose a female watermelon? It's important to understand the gender of the berry you've chosen, as it's very easy to tell them apart. The berry's bottom is the key indicator for gender. Female berries have a small white or cream-colored spot, and the bottom itself isn't marked by a distinct depression or bulge. Fruits with a male gene have a noticeably raised bottom with a sunken end. The spot forms a small circle. Distinguishing between a boy and a girl is not particularly difficult using visualization.

Industrial cultivation is characterized by the fact that a greater number of ripe fruits contain the male gene.

When buying a sweet dessert at the supermarket, remember that ninety percent of the items on offer are male. Statistics show that the ratio is one female to twenty male berries. Growing male plants is typical in southern climates.

Choose a healthy and ripe watermelon. Here are a few recommendations:

1. The rind should be carefully inspected. A small or overly large fruit is cause for doubt. The best bet is a small watermelon weighing 3-5 kilograms.
2. The selected fruit should not have any visible damage. It's also worth paying attention to its color – a watermelon that is even and free of yellow spots is considered normal.
