Counting Buds
I examined my pawpaw trees this afternoon. All of the transplants from my parent's yard now have flower buds, and in abundance. One Gurney's seedling tree had 4 tiny buds on it. The other has not yet produced buds. I plan to research fertilization and pollination of asimina triloba trees. I want to make sure the trees have the highest chance possible of setting and maturing fruit. Hopefully, the Gurney's buds will develop, and I may be able to harvest and store the pollen from that tree to cross pollinate with the trees from my parents yard. If not, I will just use the pollen from the transplanted trees and hope for fruit set. The tallest tree with buds is 9ft tall. The shortest is 5 feet tall.
