Pitless plums- I want them! Last year I got so excited while eating especially luscious ones off the tree that I accidentally swallowed a pit- it didn't sit well.
Pitless would be an improvement in several ways- less shipping cost and on earth day you can appreciate the savings in squandered deisel fuel lugging around those unnecessary pits, also they suck up energy in refrigeration . Pits are a nuisance because they are slimy after removing most of the fruit from clingstone varieties and must be carefully disposed of. Smaller plums would become a convenience food not even requiring napkins (also an environmental disrupting comodity). Get on it you genetic engineers, I just can't wait for traditional breeding techniques- can't have that many decades left.
