I have not seen any videos on it. Nor have I seen step by step text with photo's. Something that I would think would exist by now. Maybe it does. But I do not get on Youtube or the other video sites often. I may have to look.
Yes. Pete Lee is very good at that method.
I would just like to add a little here with Joe's video, just one Caprifig can have 400,000-700,000 pollen grains, the average amount of pollen grains a wasp can carry is about 3,000, and only 5-10 grains is needed to set a seed. It seems very little pollen is needed for 1 fig. Another point, his pollen 'grains' are clumps of pollen from the male flowers, these would certainly do better if they were crushed, leaving just dust that would better serve the purpose. These pollen 'grains' will float in the air, and certainly work better.
I did notice that adding to water, shaking then letting the pollen saturate and shaking again separates all the pollen grains for a cloudy look rather than clumpy. If this number is true my 4 ounces of water had around 4 million pollen grains divided by about 10 syringes at 12 MLs each roughly If I had to guess. Probably pollinated 50 figs per syringe and this should spread the pollen quite evenly and thoroughly to each flower was my theory. If these numbers were averaged more or less that’s 8,000 pollen grains per fig if done perfectly.
