Jadu’i watermelons are not afraid of the unforgiving heat. The sweet melon was once a prized export famed throughout Palestine, finding its way to markets in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. This fall, the watermelons will find themselves in Los Angeles. In five community gardens throughout the city, a handful of Jadu’i watermelon seedlings are unfurling tiny shoots and taking root. They might seem out of place being so far from home, but they have an important job to do: survive, grow, and fruit.
