Kirin melon is delicious in June. Kirin melons are usually sown in mid-March, with a growth cycle of about 60 days, which means they will mature in May. Kirin melon has higher requirements on the growth environment, because it is a cultivated variety, so the cultivation method is different from that of ordinary watermelon.

Baidu realized that because of its short growth cycle, Kirin melon has become the longest-lived and most widely distributed watermelon in the summer watermelon market.
