description Mickylee Overview

Mickylee is a small, round icebox watermelon cultivar developed for producing fruit of a size convenient for household use and refrigeration. It typically bears striped green fruit with red flesh and commonly reaches about 6 to 8 pounds under suitable growing conditions. Its compact fruit size makes it relevant to home gardeners and growers serving markets where a whole full-sized watermelon would be less practical.

help Mickylee FAQ

How big does a Mickylee watermelon get?

Mickylee watermelons typically reach about 6 to 8 pounds at maturity, making them an icebox-type cultivar small enough to fit in a standard household refrigerator. They produce round, striped green fruit with sweet red flesh.

What is the difference between Mickylee and other icebox watermelon varieties?

Mickylee was bred specifically for its compact, refrigerator-friendly size and consistent fruit quality, whereas other icebox varieties like Sugar Baby produce smaller round melons with solid dark green rinds. Mickylee's striped rind and slightly larger size within the icebox category distinguish it visually from solid-rinded types.

How long does it take to grow a Mickylee watermelon?

Mickylee watermelons generally mature in approximately 70 to 80 days from transplanting, consistent with other small icebox-type cultivars. They perform best in warm climates with full sun and well-drained soil.

Is Mickylee a seedless watermelon?

Mickylee is a seeded cultivar, not a seedless triploid variety. Its small size comes from breeding within the icebox category rather than from the triploid seedless production method used for varieties like Mini Love or other personal-sized seedless melons.
