Hello All,

This first year I am rely on cut, flowering apple branches to pollinate the apple tree in my backyard.  I keep the cut branches fresh as long as possible by keeping the cut fresh (take off another 1/2", every 2 days).

My question is; Is the pollen viable in an apple blossom after the petals fall?

I still have new flowers opening on the tree, but most of the wild apples are losing bloom and dropping petals.

Anyone know?

Thanks,
Tom
