Open pollination question?
Hi growers,
Just a question about open pollination.... i have read about some tomato varieties that have the stigma protruding from the flower and thus able to easily cross pollinated by bees etc. What about other varieties though? If i wanted to keep seeds from a variety i would usually put a fruit protection bag over the flower cluster before they open to prevent cross pollination, but is that necessary? I want to save seeds from a variety but i didn't put a bag over the flowers cluster.... is there a chance of cross pollination? If so, is it very slim? Just want to know if the seeds are going to be the same, or at least highly likely. Thanks. |
