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.

I was diagnosed of HSV (Herpes) few years ago and my doctor told me there was no permanent cure for the disease. I was given medication to slow down the progress of the virus. At the initial stage it was not so bad till it progressed to a stage were i had difficulties going about my daily activities because i constantly felt pains in my penis, and around my genital were i had these blisters. I was totally devastated and i was even ashamed to complain to anyone. I saw a publication about a doctor called Dr.Water, and from what i read, he was using herbal medicines to cure illnesses like HERPES, Human papillomavirus, ALS, Diabetes, HIV, and so on. I opted to contacted him via email, after a few dicussion, i ordered for his medicine. He prepared the medicine and shipped it to me. When i received the herbal medicine, I took it according to his instructions. After using it as instructed, few weeks later i went to the hospital to have a blood test and the test came out negetive. To my greatest surprise, i was cured of this stubborn virus just by using a simple herbal product.
That is why i am here sharing my testimony as much as i can to create as much awareness as possible so that people can also benefit and be cured too. contact him for help, via his email: {DRWATERHIVCURECENTRE@GMAIL.COM} or WhatsApp (+2349050205019). this is my persona email: marianosuarezsm@gmail.com, you add me on hangout

My dad (Ernesto Bucoy) was having many health issues with one of them being, Stage 5 kidney failure. Dialysis was no longer an option but a necessity and a transplant was not just a cure but a life-saving option. At that time, Ernesto’s kidney function was at 11% and was still continuing to decrease. To explain this in terms that everyone will understand, this means your smart phone battery is on red with little battery life left and you are racing around trying to find your charger because you can’t remember where you left it last. If you keep messing around with your phone, the battery is going to continue to decrease (or die) if the charger is not found in time. This was the same scenario with my dad’s kidneys. In this case, the “charger” was a new kidney and without one, he will have to depend on a loaned “charger” called dialysis to keep his kidneys working. I went online searching for possible solutions, or even a kidney donor. We were too poor to start thinking of buying a kidney and also paying for the transplant, that was too much money already. Luckily for me, i came across a post online talking about the healing prowess of a gifted herbal healer in Africa (Dr.Water). I read through the article and saw his whatsapp number. I contacted him on whatsapp and told him about my dad’s condition, he requested for our medical reports, which I took photos of, and send to him. A week later, he (Dr.Water) sent us some herbal medicines, promising that if we use them properly, my dad will regain his health. I did as he instructed, and a few days later we noticed tremendous improvements. We finished the treatment and just like that, my dad’s kidneys were completely revived. No surgery needed, no transplant and no dialysis. My dad is now healthy and perfectly fine. I choose to share this because i know i also benefited from someone else sharing their stories too. If you have any kidney disease, Kidney failure, kidney stones, kidney infection, HIV, hepatitis, warts, herpes, diabetes, asthma or any illness, Here is the Doctor’s whatsapp number: +2349050205019. And his email DRWATERHIVCURECENTRE@GMAIL.COM. This is my own little way of helping other sick people out there. I wish you good luck.

🟨🟦🟨 I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the last four years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year, I had faith in God that I would be healed someday. This disease started to spread all over my body and I was been taking treatment from my family doctor. Few weeks ago, I was searching on the Internet if I could get any information concerning a better treatment to this disease. On my search, I saw a testimony of someone who has been healed of HPV (Genital Warts) by this Dr.Water and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness, that he would be of help. So I wrote to DR.WATER telling him about my HERPES outbreaks. He told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it. Well i followed through with the procedures and got his remedy few days later. I started experiencing changes all over me as the Doctor had promised and assured me. After some time i went to my family doctor to confirmed if I have been truly healed. Behold it was true, i was healed and no traces of the virus in my body anymore. So friends i am here to also share my story and authenticate the name DR.WATER as a genuine and confirmed healer of herpes and even other diseases like HIV, Diabetes, warts, cancer, hepatitis and others. My advice is if you have such sickness or any other illness you can email DR.WATER on Drwaterhivcurecentre@gmail.com, sir I am indeed grateful for the help I will forever recommend you to my friends!!! you can also WhatsApp him on this number +2349050205019
