What are seedless watermelons?
Seedless watermelons are formed by cross-pollinating a seeded cultivar (with two sets of chromosomes) with a treated cultivar that has four sets of chromosomes. The resulting offspring from this cross is called a triploid seedless. This seed is planted as a seedless watermelon and is cross-pollinated with a seeded cultivar to produce a seedless fruit. You must have a seeded cultivar in order for the seedless to produce a fruit.
