Due to the wide variety of possible causes of hard seed or ovule formation, Hybrid triploid watermelons are not guaranteed to produce seedless fruit. In addition, certain genetic, cultural and climatic factors are known to cause the formation of empty seed coats, small, white, immature seeds and/or hard seeds in the flesh of the melons. The first melons to ripen in a field of hybrid triploid watermelons often contain small, vestigial seeds. Despite the popular perception, hybrid triploid watermelons are not true "seedless" watermelons.

Hybrid triploid watermelons are sterile, or true, hybrids which characteristically produce fruits with few or no true seeds.
