Lon, The effect of the Miracle Grow appears to be something other than physical transport of the pollen. My friend uses it on blueberries for fruit set. These blossoms open toward the ground and he spays from above. If all it took was a liquid spray of any kind, then the rain and wind that is so abundant here at bloom time should be pollinating everything. He developed this technique in Alaska where he had no bees. -Mark Lee, Seattle zone 8a

The physical act of spraying could shake the pollen
from the anthers onto the stigma. The British use a feather on a long stick to
"tickle" peach and plum blossoms to make them set. Could be that
going out with a feather duster at bloom time could be all you need. |
