The seeds are brown-black and look viable. There are other underdeveloped white that are certainly not viable?
These seeds are not numerous and it was difficult not to eat them all inadvertently. I had to carefully look thin slices.

Some additional infos Produced in Spain under the name Sandia con microsemillas (Sandia with microseeds) probable var name Polimore bred by israelian Hazera Genetics. Identical to Polimore pictures. Only a nuance: seeds of fruits I bought appear smaller than on Polimore pictures. At Miniwatermelon there are arguments for 2,5 to 3,5 kg watermelons and at the last picture there is Sandia. www.miniwatermelons.com/market_dealer.aspwww.miniwatermelons.com/choose_variety.aspPolimore Interesting hybrid of mini watermelon with seeds, it completes the range of mini watermelons Hazera Genetics. The fruit has a round-flattened shape, a very light green skin and dark green thin stripes (Tiger type). The medium weight is equivalent to 2.5-3.5 kg. The red pulp is very crispy and tasty. The plant, very vigorous, gives an excellent production. This hybrid, extremely productive, shows fruits with homogeneous size, characterized by thick wall (1.5 cm), thus allowing their easy and quiet heaping with no danger of cracking or deteriorations of the pulp. We suggest very high plant densities. Besides, its use as a pollinator is excellent for the varieties of mini watermelons with seeds, in which case, considering the higher earliness towards the “seedless” watermelons, we suggest to carry out the sowing a week later so to get a more correct flowering overlapping . Cycle: 75-80 days from transplanting Fruit: oval shape, medium weight kg 2.5-3.5, light green skin with dark stripes, red pulp , excellent shelf life |

Sorry for posting twice.

Bonanza are growing happily in my greenhouse - thanks pierre! I also grow two early russian cultivars, and my own hybrid of Sugar Baby x White Seeded Besvirino. Hope to get a good summer ripening the melons  |

Hi Toad
Mine are well growing also.
Some are crossed as it is obvious from fruit drawings that lack the dark green stripes.
I bought another microseeded watermelon and deception: there was very few seeds. Little over a dozen of those teeny seeds for a 2kg fruit. That these seeds are viable I can say from finding some germinating in fruit.

Good to know they can be found now. When you propagate them next year, remember me |
