Has anyone here had any experience with this technique?
I want to give it a go. Something in particular is puzzling me - how does one cap the pollinated stump to protect it from weather/other pollen? Would the traditional foil cap, but placed around entire ovary, work without baking the ovary in the sun? Would increased temperature be advantageous to getting fertilisation? If it gets really hot inside what must be something like a tiny foil oven... then obviously the stigma musn't be damaged by such temperatures in a 'normal' pollination, but the ovary might be a different matter? hmm... so may questions, and that's just one little aspect of it.
Any thoughts and/or experience, please.
