An thoughts as to why my Macoun apples could be seedless while the next row
of Gala has plenty of seeds. Thinning was Maxcell at full bloom, Carbaryl
at petal fall and Maxcell plus Carbaryl at about 10mm. We still had to
hand thin a lot off.

Art:
Are the seedless Macoun very small, or normal size?
In two years of trials with Maxcell plus NAA on Macoun I found that the
retained fruit was mostly seedless and very small.
I have not seen this with Maxcell plus carbaryl.
