Betja said:Wow, I've never heard of breaking the pistil before. How far back do you usually break it, just a little way -- or maybe even up to half?

I did this a couple of times this year, too,because of zig-zag pistils or other reasons.sometimes the end is visibly dry and you will know somewhat intuitively where to cut it.
