Default Pernettya

I have two pernettya; supposedly a male and female. However, since I
planted them 2 years ago, I haven't had a single berry. They each get a

few
teeny insignificant flowers in spring. The plants are sited about 15

feet
away from each other, but I was told that would be okay as long as

they're
within the same garden

I thought I'd move one so that they're directly next to each other, but
other than that does anyone have any advice?


You might consider hand-pollinating, using an artists' camel hair brush.
But that presumes that you know which is the male and which is the female

if
you want to do the operation in the correct order.


I have no idea of why this note of mine did not latch itself into the thread
where it belongs.
I did post it as a very ordinary reply.
