Man that sucker was ripe, sweet, juicy and full of seeds, I estimate about 500! I test germinated My 591 seeds (1370 x 723) and my 385 seeds (801.5 selfed) and 3 out of 3 germinated within 2 day for each!

Tom, I would be willing to say your estimates are way short. Try more like over a 1000 and maybe over 1100. Count them and let me know. Our 3 had over 1100 in each one. I thought like you maybe around 400 to 500 each before I counted them.
