This is actually the primary method of reproduction. The seeds are basically infertile and will be outcompeted by grass.

The seeds do much better in mineral soil, out of a closed-canopy climax forest. It's a matter of environment, not seed fertility.

It's very easy to take a drive anywhere in Northern CA and find plenty of places where the primary form of reproduction is sexual.
