| I seem to remmber reading somewhere (on your site I think) that you have/or had some Edulis/Edulis Flavicarpa...
So my Question is did they ever Flower and Fruit for you, if they did what did you use to pollinate them?

| When I lived in Chico, Ca I knew where one was. I suppose I still know where it is- However it's 8 hours away rather than 10 minutes now. If I remember correctly it's on the corner of North & Verde:
Look for a telephone pole- It's covering one of the support wires. I know that doesn't help many of you.. But hey that's where it is. The guy who owns it just lets the fruit fall so you can get quite a few off the ground. As for what pollinates it.. I have no idea- Perhaps it's self fertile or maybe there's 2 of 'em growing right there & they pollinate each other. I had the same pollination problem with my caeruleas- None of 'em were self fertile however by growing 2 or 3 in the same pot & simply letting the bees do their work I had lots of fruit. I grabbed a bunch of that flavicarpa fruit & planted the seeds.. But I moved before any were old enough to flower. |
