So far, no answer on the all male blossoms how do you pollinate question,
but as far as telling the male from female blossoms, the only way I
know is that the male blossom is at the end of a skinny stem, and the
female blossom is at the end of a fatter bulge that eventually becomes
the fruit. Is this correct, SQFT'rs? Anybody out there?
