Does citrus pollen store well and ship well?
I ask because I am impatient to get some crosses made and hybrid seeds started. Breeding trees takes patience, and I'd be OK with that if I had no other options.
But I know there are people here who have mature plants of some I've been growing on, and might make some pollinations if they had pollen. and there may be people with mature plants who might donate pollen. Yes?
When I started this thread, I was thinking in long term plans. But since there are mature plants of non-disgusting P. trifoliata, and US 852, for example, such a cross might be made this spring and we'd be that much closer to having something edible and more hardy than now exists.
But first step is to see if it is possible.
I realize that P. trifoliata blooms earlier than citranges or citanderins, etc. So it might not work making the cross in the direction I'd like, unless the P. trifoliata is much further north than the US 852. Perhaps a US 852 x citrange?
Anyone have information or ideas?
