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.
