I was looking for seedless figs? I heard about a Mary Lane, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this fig or any other seedless types? Thanks for the help! |

The few that are called seedless still have seeds. Some have less seeds or smaller, less noticeable seeds, but still have seeds. |

Hmm. I was looking for a variety that didn't have so much of the crunchy seeds. My husband was wanting one without that seedy crunch. Know of a variety that is less crunchy? |

I will have Janice Seedless in February. That, along with Mary Lane are the two most common. |

Does this fig (somewhat) qualify for your requirements? |

Gorgi, did you grow this fig from scratch (stick)? If so, how long until it fruited for you? that is one nice looking fig. I am rooting a cutting of that kind and just wonder if there is magic, since it is a Chinese fig... |

There seems to be some variants for the Wuhan fig name. |

I bought some potted trees at Lowes the week before last with plans to graft them. I just noticed yesterday that one of them is Janice. I might decide against grafting it. They actually had a pretty good selection of varieties with Fourwinds Nursery being the source. I saw on Jon's variety list that Bay Laurel is listed as once of the sources (Dave Wilson being listed as the other and I'm pretty sure Bay Laurel obtains their stock from Dave Wilson) and Bay Laurel indicated it was "patent pending". I searched online and the application was filed 9/27/91 and granted 6/15/93 so I believe the patent expired 9/27/2011. Patents used to expire 17 years from the date it was granted but then changed to 20 years after the application was filed. I forget the effective date of the change but the patent has already expired in either case. |

Gorgi, did this Wuhan fruited in 2 years like all others? I am very curious as I am nursing a very special cutting of this kind! |

LSU Purple has little to non seeds/seed crunch. |

Sal - Absolutely, that would be great if you would keep me in mind if it worked out that you had some cuttings available.
