I have a pepper plant that I really want to save seeds from. I tried (unsuccessfully) earlier this year to pollinate/bag blossoms. This plant is located away from all of my others, and is the only one still setting fruit. If I save seeds from some of the very late fruits, do you think there is a good chance it will come true? I realize there could still be a chance of cross pollination.


Does anyone have any good tips on how to pollinate and isolate blossoms? Would putting netting around the whole plant work, then pollinate by hand? I'm really wanting to learn how to do this.
