Default Re: How to pollinate

When the male flowers are fully ripe, they drop pollen like grains of sand at the slightest touch. I usually place a piece of white paper, or wax paper just under the male raceme, and tap the raceme stem with my finger, and watch the pollen drop like snow flakes onto the paper; then, I'll remove one of the male flowers and also pollinate the female flowers with whats left on the anthers. - Rich
