Pollen tray

Pollen tray.....

Eric, that's a great idea!! You thinkof the neatest things.

Oh that what it look like, thank for showing us and good idea put little tray.

Pollen bank anyone...?

Brugmansia..I take the entire anther off with a long pair of surgical tweezers and put them whole in glass sterile tubes with screw on lids.Then refrigerate..I label them with masking tape and put in the refrig door.Sometimes I find them six months later!!LOL :-)

So it should just be refrigerated? Not frozen?

Poppysue I only refrigerate not freeze......haven't tried freezing so can't make a judgement..:-)

Yes, one can freeze in your freezer and one can freeze them a bit colder than that as well. I find pollen stays viable for quite a while when one freezes it after drying it first of course for a few hours. I also store my pollen cases in ziplock bags now to keep moisture out.

Thanks Eric learning more every day
