FULL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step by step
Choose a dry period
Apply when blossoms are dry and conditions are calm. Temperatures around 55°F or warmer are ideal. Avoid applying during rain, fog, or while flowers are wet with heavy dew.
Let the pollen thaw before opening
Remove the pollen from the freezer and allow it to come to room temperature before opening.
Use only what you need
If practical, take a small amount outside and leave the rest frozen. Keeping unused pollen cold and dry helps maintain viability.
Brush pollen onto freshly opened blossoms
Dip the included brush lightly into the pollen, then gently touch the brush to the center of freshly opened flowers. Work your way around the tree, applying pollen in different areas. You do not need to touch every blossom.
Apply again as more flowers open
Make a second application around 60% bloom. An optional third application can be made around 80% bloom.
Seal and refreeze
After each application, seal the pollen tightly and return it to the freezer.
