My kishus flesh is very orange, and out of many dozens eaten, no seeds found. The ones on my trees are about 50% colored now.

I hear you TFN. Some seed are in some of the fruit. Most are without seed. Perhaps a seeded kishu? Not orange inside at all. Do not see how this fruit can get any more "ripe". Or sweeter.

Maybe the seedless gene is only 90% Dominant. So true kishu with two genes is totally seedless. But hybrid kishu is seed reduced. Incomplete dominance. (Like hazel eyes). Early Kishu = Very nice tree.

You may be right. It is the best fruit and the tree is a wonder to behold. I can eat them all day. I am going to plant a few trees from seed and graft a few.

Follow up: planted the seed and now have 8 seedlings. Going to see what happens. Laaz did you plant the seed that I sent you from these fruits?

Fruit looks a little different than the Kishu I have eaten or seen here. Here's a few pictures of what our Kishu fruit ( more flatter) and tree looks like.

SC...I surmise that this is a Kishu...old tree and perhaps a seeded one. Can find no history on the tred. It is a great tasting fruit and cold hardy as it gets no care. I am reproducing from seed and grafting. Hope to get some replication from the seed. Grafts have taken. I will force them about March.
