The breeders were concerned about the seeds of the crosses they were
making. The sweet kernel ones had to be put in something like wire
mesh when they sowed them because otherwise the squirrels would eat
them.
I guess you'd have a double batch of trouble if the squirrels eat the
fruit and also the kernels.
