Seedless is not "never seed". I mean we can exceptionnally find a seed in the "seedless variety". But I can be wrong Rolling Eyes
I think I remember 'Sweety' is seedless and many clementines but I found at least one seed in all variety that I bought, excepted 'Clemenpons' (in some cases, after 50, 100 fruits).

Millet, when I was at the Riverside Citrus Variety Collection in January or February of this year, we had the opportunity to taste the Dekopon there. I can tell you the two I had were actually pretty seedy. Not overly so, but I would say there were probably 4 to 10 seeds per fruit. Since it's being grown with all the other cultivars, I'm guessing it's going to be more seedy, than being grown in a commercial setting, isolated and in blocks of same cultivars. Interestingly, Dr. Kahn told someone in my tour group that it would not grow true from seed. She gave me a long look, so I kept my mouth shut. Also, I did get a couple of seeds in my Dekopons I bought from the store this season as well. Only a couple of seeds, from a case of about 12 fruit, though. So, I think the description, "seedless" is appropriate, compared to the Seedless Kishu, which I would call "almost completely seedless".

As a point of interest: By US law, any citrus that contains 6 seeds or less can legally (and truefuly) be advertised and sold as a seedless fruit in the USA.- Millet
