Were do seeds for a seedless watermelon come from?

If a watermelon is seedless where do they get the seeds to grow the next batch?

  • I do realize there are a couple of small colorless seeds in each one but that does not justify destroying the melon just to get a few seeds

  • Answer:

    Actually, triploid watermelons (seedless) are expensive to produce as they must be transplanted to the field rather than grown from seed. They do produce seeds, but instead of hard, dark seeds, they are white and immature and can be eaten undetected.

The seed company can mess with the genes of a watermelon seed and make a seed were it wont produce any seeds

Who says you need to destroy the melon to get the seeds, wouldn't you just eat it???

I don't know fur sure but I would venture to guess its not completly unlike what is often done with hemp where they produce a cloned female plant and the clone has no seeds.

They clone them, or use tissue cultures. Or sometimes use some rather odd plant hormones to make the melon ripen without seeds.
