issue Seedless Habaneros

[Lockfish]

My habanero plant has no problem producing peppers, but none of the peppers have seeds. Is there something I can do grow peppers with seeds from this plant?

How long has plant been having this problem?
What have you tried, to get it to put on seeds?

Have you tried potting it in different soil? Maybe it's lacking nutrients.

Check the Flowers as they mature by shaking them.
When they are mature you should see a cloud of pollen coming out.

If not you might need to get different plant to try cross pollination.

Any pics?

That phenomenon is known as parthenocarpy (from the Greek for virgin + fruit) and can be induced genetically and/or environmentally. Are your plants from commercial hybrid seeds? Can also be the result of a cold period before/during flowering.

That's not parthenocarpy, that's just missing seeds… This happens e.g. after pollination with incompatible pollen (e.g. another species) which leads to embryo death. Or it could be a mutation that affects fertility. Or both...

You'd better look for another seed source because the fitness of this plant does not seem very good to me...
