Once in a while I have not had any male flowers and I really don't live close to any growers. So I am wondering if any one has had any luck scaping pollen from the male flowers and freezing it for later use. thanks Kathy

I have asked the same question before,and never really got a definitive answer, I think you should be able to ,but only with liquid nitrogen. If they can freeze human embryo's and semen, I can't see pollen being a problem.Saving pollen from a super seed ,may become a reality. Terry

Some growers have used fedex to get, deliver pollen.

You can store pollen in the fridge from flowers that open one day early for big event.Theres been attempts to freeze in liquid nitrogen with poor results
