I snip off the individual flowers, dehydrate them thoroughly in a dessication jar with a bag of freshly tuned up silca gel. zzonce the flowers are dry, I have used a couple of ways to apply pollen. I originally put them on a screen over a ~250ml mason jar and scrub them around in the screen to drop pollen into the jar, and then used a watercolor brush or small piece of sponge to apply pollen to flowers. However, I have now given that up for another technique. I now put an isolation bag over the target branch. put the dry flowers in a large syringe, give the syringe a damn good shake, and then inject pollen onto the target branch by quickly pumping the syringe back and forth to repeatedly stir up the pollen in the syringe and inject pollen laden air into the isolation bag and onto the branch. The injection bag tech usually gets hundreds of seeds off a single branch.
The bag I put over the target branch is sewn out of some scrap cloth, and the open end is gently tied to seal it around the base of the target branch. I moisten it before using so that any pollen that lands on it inside the bag is killed. I leave the bag in place for 4-5 or so hours, and then spray down the whole plant, bag and all, with plain water before removing the bag very gently while continuing to spray the branch as it emerges from the bag. So far, this has resulted in complete isolation of the target branch. As far as I know, I have not generated any seeds anywhere but on the branch treated in the bag. The latest tune up of the technique was mounting the large syringe onto the isolation bag with a foot or so of regular 1/4" irrigation tubing. A needle through the bag works well, but there is a risk of the needle coming out of the bag while pumping the air in and out, and if that happens, pollen ends up everywhere. Now how would I know that?
