Cherimoya Pollen Puffer Found

Go to Brokaw Nursery website http://brokawnursery.com/
then follow the button that says "Useful Links" then hit the button that is labeled
"Cherimoya Pollen Gun". A bit pricey at $80 but if you increase your yield by a couple of dozen fruit it pays for itself. If you cut down the time by a couple of hours...ditto, If you save the frustration of collecting the pollen then accidentally dumping it as you try to hold a flower open, dip the brush then get the brush to the flower.....
The Peruvian videos recommended breaking half off one petal of the pollinated flower so you know which have been done. When I have accidentally broken the petals it seemed they did not set fruit. Does anyone else have an observation?

George, I don't think I looked under Useful links, would never have thought that was the one.

I did the research and tried Brokaw Nursery, but I guess I did not look hard enough. Never thought to try Useful links, thought it would of been under tools or etc.

Nice catch,

David
