   I need to try some other variety of thornless- problem is, I do not   
   recall what I have, nor did I by the time they started to fruit a year   
   or 3 after they went in.   
      
   They fruit well enough, look great, but they do not have the deep,   
   wonderful flavor of the scratch-your-eyes-out old ones I spent so long   
   getting rid of.
