Are there any seedless tomatoes?

As a gardening and landscaping expert, I can tell you that while there are no truly seedless tomatoes, there are varieties that are considered to be mostly seedless. One such variety is the ‘Oregon Cherry’ tomato, which is a cherry tomato that claims to have mostly seedless fruits. Another variety is the ‘Golden Nugget’ tomato, also a cherry tomato, that boasts a similar claim of being mostly seedless.

Now, when we say these tomatoes are mostly seedless, it means that you can expect around three-quarters of the tomatoes to be seed-free. However, about one-quarter of the fruits may still contain some seeds. This is still a significant improvement compared to other tomato varieties, where nearly all the tomatoes have seeds.

I have personally grown both ‘Oregon Cherry’ and ‘Golden Nugget’ tomatoes in my own garden, and I can attest to their mostly seedless nature. The majority of the tomatoes I harvested from these plants were indeed seedless, making them a great choice if you prefer tomatoes with fewer seeds.

It’s worth noting that the presence of seeds in tomatoes can vary depending on factors such as growing conditions, maturity of the fruit, and even individual plants within the same variety. So while these varieties are known for being mostly seedless, there may still be some variations and occasional fruits with seeds.

If you’re specifically looking for seedless tomatoes, you may also come across varieties labeled as “seedless” or “low seed.” These tomatoes are bred to have fewer seeds compared to regular tomatoes, but they may still have some seeds present. It’s always a good idea to check the specific characteristics and claims of each variety before making a purchase or planting decision.

While there are no completely seedless tomatoes, there are varieties such as ‘Oregon Cherry’ and ‘Golden Nugget’ that are considered to be mostly seedless. These varieties typically have around three-quarters of their fruits without seeds, making them a popular choice for those who prefer tomatoes with fewer seeds. However, it’s important to remember that there may still be some variations and occasional fruits with seeds even in these mostly seedless varieties.
