This may be a stupid question but are these fruit fly magots?

Barnetmill you had expressed a desire for a seedless loquat. In this post

EVERYTHING you wanted to know about Loquats!

You will find links to many Academic Loquat articles. In one of them it speaks of diploid and triploid Loquats and the triploid did produce a commercial size fruit with good taste and no seeds. 90% of these articles are Asian research so I'm not sure how we would go about getting a tree but I would think they are availble over there.

A seedless Loquat might be worth the costs.

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
