This is for anyone who might have interest in breeding stoneless_______________________________________________
plums. Mine are ripe now and many have viable kernals, even though
they lack all or most of the stone. I've grown seedlings of them
before and some do carry the stoneless trait. If anyone else is
interested, I can still collect seed for about another day or so.
After that, the hot weather and animals will take the majority of
them. Stratify the bare kernels just like seed, but with some
fungicide like captan to keep them from rotting until they grow.
Contact me offlist if you want to try them.
