So one plant is enough, though more is better! Gary Woods AKA K2AHC- PGP key on request, or at www.albany.net/~gwoods Zone 5/6 in upstate New York, 1420' elevation. NY WO G |

'Cheryl',
Yes, one plant will suffice. Pollinate by splitting the end of a small thin cane, insert small ball of cotton wool in the split, fluff it up a little, and use it to gently transfer pollen from one flowering truss to another. It is being effective when you see that the wool is tinted yellow. Regards, Emrys Davies. "shazzbat" wrote in message ... "cheryl buxton" wrote in message m...
