Hand Pollination Guide
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.

Bianca Ngwanya
My name is Bianca Ngwanya from South Africa. I will love to tell everybody on this blog how my status changed from hiv positive to negative, and i am now a living witness of it. HIV has been on going in my family. I lost both parents to hiv, and i have not been able to get over the pain. As we all know, medically there is no solution to hiv. Few months ago, someone introduced me to a native medical practitioner online called DR.WATER. I showed him all my tests and results. I was already diagnosed with hiv and it was already taking its toll on me. I had spent thousands of rands on other medicines before, but yet i decided to try him out. i was on his dosage for 3 weeks. Although i didn’t believe in it, i was just trying it out of frustration. After the 3 weeks, i went for new tests. And you won’t believe that 5 different laboratory results have confirmed it that i am negative. It was like a dream, i never believe HIV has a cure. I just want to help others in anyway i can, i have included DR.WATER’s Whatsapp number and email at the end of this message. I have joined many forums and i have posted this testimonies and a lot of people have contacted DR.WATER through me and they were also negative after using his medicine. BBC news even published it live that DR.WATER can cure even Hepatitis, Coronary artery, Cancer, Herpes, HPV, Asthma, Diabetes and many others. Everybody saw it and it is now out in some papers and magazines.

THE LOCAL AFRICAN HERBS ARE VERY EFFECTIVE IN TREATING HEPATITIS B, HIV, HERPES, AND SOME OF THESE SEEMINGLY INCURABLE ILLNESSES
My name is Jose Celestino Ruiz. I had already given up on ever getting cured of Hepatitis B because i have tried many treatments and none of them worked out for me. I have even gone to different hospitals and they always tell me same thing, that there was no cure for Hepatitis B. Few weeks ago, i was going through the internet, then i came across a post about Dr.Water on the internet. It was a lady in England who he had cured of Diabetes, that was telling her story and recommending him. I took up his information from there and contacted him. He assured me that he could cure Hepatitis B, i told him that this was the first time someone is telling me that Hepatitis B can be cured and i am going to give it a try. I got his herbal medicine, and I used it just the way he instructed. I doubted at first because i have been to a lot of reputable doctors, tried a lot of medicines but none was able to cure me. But it felt like this was going to be the ultimate solution I have been praying for, so i didn’t want it to slip away. I commenced treatment with Dr.O.Water and used his products just as he had directed, and under 3 weeks i was completely healed and healthy, i felt very fine and all the symptoms were gone. I have gone for a test and i have been declared negative and free from Hepatitis B. I want to say a very big thank you to Dr.O.Water for what he has done in my life. Feel free to write him on email DRWATERHIVCURECENTRE@GMAIL.COM and also whatsapp +234-905-020-5019. thank you
