Black Strap (Breeders Selection) X Pinot Noir - Breeding Project
Pollination Extravaganza!
Decided to pull out some of my Black Strap pollen from 4/22 and pollinate a branch of the 2nd Pinot Noir. Hoping for the same frostiness of the Pinot Noir with the darker colors and sweeter smell of the Black Strap. Hard to imagine this one being anything but amazing.

Cut all of the Pinot Noir except the pollinated branch. Going to give it more time for any seeds to mature as much as possible. Some seeds are popping out which is great to see. Should be fun to see how it turns out.

Gave the PN another round of pollen for good measure. Just to be safe and all.

The pistils look to be receding on the branch that was pollinated. Looking like it was successful.

Pollinated one full side branch today, and will reapply in a few days for good measure. Seeds in a couple months!
