seedless watermelon
Comments (6)I'm yet to have a seedless watermelon I like. I find a lot either bland, lacking good texture (some are slightly stringy), or just "average tasting." None I've had the past few years are as offensively bland as they were years before, but I think they still have a little work to do in the breeding department with the seedless watermelon. Some of my friends (and my mother) have no issue with the taste of most of seedless ones, though. I guess it's all in what you want out of a watermelon. Seedless and seeded are both going to have a watermelon flavor and sweetness, but how much of that flavor, it's balance, and the texture of the fruit is a consideration for others....See MoreMore seedless peppers
Comments (2)Been growing peppers for 8 years. Never seen that. I've grown peppers with very few seeds in them, but never none. Is it possible they aren't ripe? -HabBob...See MoreSeedless Tomato
Comments (5)I haven't grown it myself and don't intend to but I have seen cut cross sections of the fruits and they do have a few mature seeds when the fruits are ripe as one would suspect if it were a parthenocarpic variety. Such varieties can set fruits in the absence of pollination and can be useful in areas where the Springs are too cool to allow for fruit set the normal way. Dr. Baggett of Oregon State has bred many of them for the PNW. Early in the season you see just no seeds or shreds of white immature seeds and then only later do you see some mature seeds. You can accomplish the same thing by spraying with the product Blossom Set which does induce partheocarpy. But there's a downside as well since such fruits that form withut normal pollination can be misshapen and mealy. Carolyn...See MoreBest Seedless Mandarin Varieties?
Comments (47)Thanks for all the comments guys. Great info and feedback all around. Regarding Gold Nugget, I have one that has been in ground for about 6 years from a 5 gallon nursery tree, trifoliate rootstock. It is only 6ft tall with 6ft width. Just another data point. Mine is from Durling nursery. Where did you get yours kentc? Questions for all you Bay Area growers: Do you have any problems with freezing? What varieties do you recommend for your climate, especially for container growing?...See Moremalcolm_manners
