And in 1872, seedless navel oranges were brought to the US from Brazil. They were sourced from a clump of freak orange trees, accordin to an article of the New York Times, from 1902. And, thanks to the American farmers, they grow everywhere today. So, it seems that the seed gene of watermelon has a re...
