Hand Pollination Guide

Ever wonder why your healthy and mature fruit hasn’t produced much fruit even when you think you’re fertilizing, watering, and doing everything you believe to be right? Well, there is secret to getting more fruits on your tree! Flowers must be pollinated in order to produce seeds and fruit. Today, we are going to focus on the Cherimoya fruit tree and how to get them to produce the most amount of fruit as possible using HAND-POLLINATION!

Cherimoyas are a fruit tree that put out vigorous annual growth and, when mature, require annual pruning at the beginning of April to keep trees at a reasonable height. If you don’t prune your tree, it may grow 30 feet tall, making hand-pollination a near impossible task.

How do we produce so many cherimoya fruits at Ricardo’s Nursery? Beginning in June, pollen should be removed with a small paintbrush from the male portion of the flowers and brushed onto the cone-like pistil of the partially open female part of the flowers. It is important to continue to hand-pollinate flowers each week so that your fruit will mature from November through March. Here is an easy step-by-step guide:

1. Look for male flowers that are fully open in late afternoon with the petals flaring about half-way open. Hold a small plastic container beneath the flower.

2. Tap the base of the flower to knock loose some of the anthers and their pollen, and using the paintbrush, brush them into the container.

3. Look into the container to identify the pollen. It is the fine dust-like material rather than the larger grainy-looking pieces, which are the anthers. Save and refrigerate overnight to pollinate the female flowers in the morning when closed. Use the pollen the next day and discard any remaining pollen, since it is not effective after about 24 hours.

4. In the morning, Locate a female flower with the petals only slightly open. Take some pollen from the vial on the tip of the paint brush and press + twirl it into the flower until it touches the cone shaped stigma at the base of the flower.

5. Continue harvesting pollen and fertilizing flowers throughout the flowering season, usually from June through August and watch your fruit production increase when November rolls around!

The biggest obstacle to growing cherimoya fruit is inadequate number of pollinators, but with the use of hand-pollination, we can help increase fruit production with just a bit of effort.

    I can’t emphasize enough how badly I regret dealing with a fraudulent Crypto Broker. My dealings were an absolute disaster, and I will caution many so as not to be a victim of the crypto fraud trend. From the moment I signed up, endless promises were made by the trading platform, but it quickly became evident that their true motives and their company were far from true. After sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to my trading account within the first 3 months. The person in charge of my account was uncooperative, dismissive, and seemed more interested in getting me to put more money in than offering assistance. I was swayed to add more funds, assuring me of more huge profits, but in reality, they were exploiting my trust, sad. I wanted to access my funds but couldn’t, at some point, I couldn’t even access my trading account because they shut me out for not wanting to invest more. They demanded excessive paperwork, including numerous bank statements, which I complied with. Despite following their every instruction, the process became more and more delayed and complicated. Eventually, I realized they were purposely making it hard to withdraw my money, and I concluded that my crypto investment had been hijacked. They are nothing but scammers, and I deeply regret entrusting them with my money.
    I am writing this because I am just one of the few fortunate ones who got help in retrieving my lost investment. After some research, I realized that it’s possible to retrieve crypto sent out of a crypto wallet if carried out by a professional crypto recovery specialist. I want to introduce you all to CYBER GENIE HACK PRO. This team of professional asset recovery specialists ensured all I had sent out was successfully recovered immediately after I hired them.
