In the median strip of Midosuji in Umeda, Osaka, an event called “Watermelon Cutting Session” was held to see what’s inside a watermelon that was found growing wild.
This watermelon attracted attention and was called the “gutsy watermelon” because it was found in the median strip of Midosuji, a busy street in Umeda, Osaka.However, it is dangerous for people to enter the road when trying to get close to it. It was removed last month.
The watermelon was on display at the botanical garden “Sakuya Konohanakan” in Tsurumi Ward, Osaka, but in response to many requests from visitors to “take a look inside,” the botanical garden was closed on the 11th. , we held a “Gunsei Watermelon Cutting Session.”
The watermelon was about 10 centimeters in diameter, and when a botanical garden employee cut it in half with a knife, the juicy, red, ripe flesh was revealed, eliciting cheers and applause from the visitors.
At the tasting event that followed, people who tasted the watermelon said, “It’s sweeter than the watermelon you buy at the store.”
A woman in her 50s said, “I had surgery on my foot this spring, and rehabilitation is difficult, but Watermelon has given me the courage to do it, so I think I’ll be able to persevere and continue.”
Ryo Uedana, manager of the botanical garden, said, “It was found in a place with a lot of traffic, so it’s probably germinated by birds dropping on it.The seeds are in good condition, so we’re hoping to sow them and pass them on to the next generation.” I want to go,” he said.
