Prime Seedless This is the earliest white seedless variety, and was developed and patented by the Volcani Institute in Israel. The medium sized berries are rounded and bunches are well filled out without being compact. The Volcani Institute receives royalties on both on the initial purchase of the vine and per carton harvested once the vines start to produce, and despite this, Prime is becoming a very popular variety as it ripens before all the other white seedless cultivars, and its early entrance into the market holds the promise of premium returns to growers.
