Where does watermelon grow?
Question:where do watermelons grow in the united states?
Answers:
The five top states for watermelon production are Florida, California, Texas, Georgia and Arizona, accounting for about 75% of the total U.S. crop. Watermelons can grow in almost any of the the lower 48, taking about 90 days to produce fruit for the earliest varieties. However, they ripen best in warmer climates and in sandy or sandy loam soils. On 2005, the U.S. produced about 3.8 billion (yeah, with a B) pounds of watermelon on just over 136,000 acres for a total market value of $410 million.
