Ever since I ate the Awesome Yellow Watermelon in Lebanon PA in 1999, I have been hooked. The farmer also told me about the HoneyCrisp Apples (never heard of them before), and the BLue Watermelon. I have found the expensive apple (well worth up to $2.75lb( for the LARGE APPLES)..I do not pay more, unless they are HUGE. Anyway, I have not found the elusive Blue Melon…I too also thought it would be a mix of BLueberry and Reg. Watermelon. GOod Luck, and let us know if you find them (here in the US)

I saw online that they grow blue watermelons, \moon melons\ in some parts of japan & cost at least $200 USD.

I think if you water a watermelon plant with water with blue dye for a long period of time, it will turn blue. Only a suggestion… Not sure if it actually works.

Excellent observation, Reflection!! I pasted the photo into my trusty Microsoft Paint program and enlarged it to get a better look and you’re right!

Also, even without enlarging the photo, you can see pinkish reflections in the white bowl that the editor overlooked when he or she changed the color of the watermelon.

You can see the red of the watermelon in the reflection of the large wedge on the far right. The editor changed the reflection on the butchers knife to be blue, but on the counter top next to it the reflection is red.

a blue watermelon…? hmmm well i have to say maybe u should search up the diff kinds of watermelon then narrow ur search to where ur uncle bought it then after that if u cant find it then maybe it was just a special type that went extinct or something anyways good luck finding it

I agree, Ellen. The discovery of a blue watermelon would be a momentous occasion for watermelon lovers like us.

So momentous, that I’m willing to offer a reward to the first person to step forward with physical proof of a blue fleshed watermelon. The reward will be (checking my pockets)… Three dollars and 78 cents!

As for the taste, I imagine it tastes something like real watermelon with a hint of sweet blueberries. Hey, a guy can dream, right?

Would be nice if somewhere a blue watermelon was found. What would it taste like I wonder? Hope the mystery is solved eventually.
