I read a lot about Nules Clementine not having seeds. I bought a Nules tree today and the tag says that it is seedless. Well, I decided to look up the UCR website for this variety and sure enough the description says that the fruit are seedless. BUT, the picture of the cut fruit on the UCR page clearly shows seeds inside! Is it because the "technical definition" of "seedlessness" in citrus means "almost seedless"? Anybody who has this tree care to clear this up for me? Here is the picture:

Thanks for the help in advance. (also how do you like the taste of this fruit?)

Cross pollination will make them seedy.

Also, I forget what the count is but a certain amount of seed is considered seedless.
