Side Kick is a pollinator for use in seedless watermelon production. The compact and highly branching plants of Side Kick produce a profuse amount of flowers early and continuously. This early and continuous flowering ensures good pollination and ultimately better seedless fruit quality. The small vines do not interfere with the seedless varieties and produce small fruit that are easily crushed when stepped on. Side Kick is the perfect companion to your seedless plantings. The recommended ratio is one Side Kick plant for every three seedless plants. Patent 7314979.
