Started vibrating the first of the blossoms last night. For the first year winter growers this is where I place the vibrating tip and spoon. Even before the blossom has fully opened I can start to see pollen dropping on to the spoon. I will vibrate the blossom a few times per day until I am sure it is set. From my experience, there will be one to two days where there is heavy dropping of pollen. On those days, I will take the pollen from the spoon and spread it back on to the stigma. I left every other blossom on this plant for now. I am also vibrating those...any extra pollen is good.
