Personal-size and widely adapted.
Sugar Cube lives up to its name with intensely sweet flavor. Very uniform, heavily netted 2–2 1/2 lb. fruits (just a bit bigger than a softball) with deep orange, aromatic flesh perfect for single servings.
A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream dropped in the seed cavity makes a sublime summer treat.
Strong disease package and long harvest window. Well-suited for northern and southern regions. High resistance to Fusarium wilt races 0–2, powdery mildew, and watermelon mosaic virus; intermediate resistance to papaya ringspot virus and zucchini yellow mosaic virus.
It is best to limit vine summer vegetables to the lower section of your Tower Garden.
