Well, let me tell you about grapes! We bought two seedless varieties and planted on wires, pruned according to Sunset Western Gardener directions...did it for four years, grapes came and they had SEEDS!

I have 4 arbor gates into the garden, planted seedless grapes, three years later...you guessed it...they have SEEDS! All the varieties and labels (colorful) were for seedless. How can different growers sell me mislabeled plants? Anybody else have that problem?

...mislabeled plants.

O yeah. I’ve had that problem. Bought 4 apple trees labeled Gala, my favorite. Took 4 years to establish and begin producing...bumper crops of Granny Smiths.

Absolutely. We ordered and planted 4 different types, and they all have seeds.

Buy your plants early in the transplant season , rather than 'on sale' in the later part of Spring.
Unscrupulous growers have been known to change the tags on their plants towards the end of the season
as 'seedless varieties' command a higher price , and are more desireable by the consumer.
It's the law of 'supply and demand'....
