YES it IS! Maybe not from all sources, but from many watermelon growers! So
sourcing where your seed comes from may be important. All i know is that it is a terrible variety for me. So terrible that i can not in good conscience recommend it. I tried it three or four years in a row and it failed to thrive. So i gave up on it. That does not mean that someone in a similar short season climate with different moisture content in their air or different soil it might do fantastic. I have heard from some that it does well, but i have heard from others that it does not live up to expectations at all either. Seems to be a hit or miss variety.
