Answer 2

Seedless watermelons are a hybrid. A result of selective breeding and cross pollination. There are some trace seeds in the seedless watermelons. The reason for breeding a hybrid seedless watermelon is for consumer preference. Some people don't like to have to remove seeds from watermelons. There are still many varieties available for purchase that are the open pollinated or heirloom seed. Black diamond, Crimson sweet, All sweet, Jubilee, and Charleston Grey. Open pollinated varieties are often very large and consumers for the most part prefer the smaller hybrid varieties. There is plenty of seed available to anyone for purchase to grow their own open pollinated watermelons or simply go to the farmer's market and buy a old variety and save the seeds. I'm a seventh generation American family farmer. We aren't conspiring to deprive anyone of seed. We just grow what consumer's want to buy. Here in rural America we still like big old seed filled watermelons. We even have seed spitting contests. God bless you.
