Sweet Dawn is an early-maturing seedless that has shown consistent yield potential. The 16-20 lb. fruit have a classic Crimson Sweet rind pattern, deep red, firm flesh and have shown less hollow heart issues than other early varieties. Sweet Dawn offers a significant advantage for growers to get into the market earlier. Intermediate resistance to Fusarium wilt (race 1) and Anthracnose (race 1).
You will need to purchase a pollinator for use with the seedless varieties. We highly recommend that you use Side Kick or Accomplice for this purpose, as they flower early and continuously throughout the pollination period. You will need one pollinator for every three seedless you transplant.
