When I was a kid, I knew even less about growing things than I know now. My parents didn't garden. But when I first got interested in edible landscaping when I was 11 or so, I just did whatever seemed to me like it would work. Knowing nothing of the difference between self-pollinating plants and ones that need a pollinator, I just got up on the ladder with one of my watercolor brushes and individually hand pollinated every flower I could get my hands on (this was on a plum, a peach and an apricot). Seemed to work okay. I know I plan on using that method again if I have pollination problems. |
