Commercially, #US#watermelons are mostly #produced in southern States with harvest occurring during the late #spring and #summer months. #Florida, #Georgia, #California, and #Texas accounted for three-fourths of the 3.4 billion #pounds of watermelon produced domestically in 2021. Historically, Florida is the top watermelon-producing State and in 2021, this State alone accounted for 30% of U.S. production. When both Georgia and Texas experienced production loss in 2021 because of #cool spring #weather, California moved up to outrank Texas as the third-highest watermelon-producing State in 2021.
