Pomegranate pollination time and method

Pomegranate Pollination

Pomegranate pollination is generally carried out through insect pollination or wind pollination, and artificial pollination usually has a higher success rate.

Pollination can be carried out in stages. Every 1 to 2 days during the flowering period, use a brush to dip a little pollen and gently apply it to the stigma of the blooming female flower.

Best time to pollinate pomegranates

Pomegranates can be artificially pollinated from early May to early June, and pollination is best done between 8 and 11 am in clear weather.

Pomegranate Pollination Method

When the weather is clear, you can use a brush to brush the stamens of the male flowers a few times, and then put the pomegranates into the female flowers for artificial pollination.

Use a brush to dip pollen from male flowers that are blooming and shedding pollen. When the tip of the brush is full of yellow pollen, then use it to pollinate female flowers. Each time you collect pollen, you can pollinate 7 to 10 flowers. If you don't have a brush, you can also remove the petals of male flowers that are blooming and shedding pollen, and touch the stigma of the male flower to the stigma of the female flower to achieve the purpose of pollination.
