Number 4 female on the 1161 Rodonis main at the 17 ft mark. Four lobe female pollinated/pounded with 10 males flowers off the 848 Lilja, Friday May 29th, used a combination of 5 males that had opened that day and 5 one day old males with pollen I know had germinated. Due to very cold temperatures the 2 days prior to pollination the female flower opened later than usual and the male flowers that opened that morning were lagging. I held off starting to pollinate until 12:30 pm when things had warmed up and then during the next 2 hours unloaded on the poor female. As you can see I have provided ideal conditions to help insure a set.
