Parthenocarpic, or " Seedless" Varieties:


These varieties are able to produce fruit without pollination. When grown in isolation from other varieties, the ovules do not develop into seed, but remain soft and light colored, enabling the production of fruit with “seedless” flesh. Since seed are not set, fruit quality can last longer on plant and in storage, and the flesh can resist developing bitterness associated with mature seed.
