Pollen was obtained from male flowers of ‘Fuerte’ collected
when all the anthers had dehisced. The anthers were separated
from their filaments and placed in a Petri dish. For the pollination
with direct contact of the anthers of ‘Fuerte’ flowers with the
stigmas of ‘Hass’ flowers, a total of 153 inflorescences distributedin
30 trees were selected with a total of 645 ‘Hass’ flowers hand
pollinated. In both cases, the rest of the non-pollinated flowers in
the inflorescences were removed.
