That was one of Burbank's goals - pitless prunes. Growers didn't like

pit weighed less.

I emailed one of the researchers to ask about this, (Isn't the internet
great?) and he said that pit removal is a big expense for food

That's where the market would be for these plums. How often do you see
fresh prune plums for sale anyway?
I don't hear anyone complaining about seedless bananas.
