Pollination has finally started. Its a little late due to the cool wet weather. I selfed a 359 Foss on a rear secondary as a backup. It will have 2 on the mail opening in the next 3 or 3 days. I also selfed a 1928 Globus 5 lobe 12' out on the main. The leaves on that plant and the 1692 McMullen are smaller with shorter stalks than normal. It might be genetic, or nitrogen leached out from the rain or was tied up by wood in the compost. I guess I just wait and see what happens. At least we will have cool weather for the next week so the pollinations should take off well.
