    Hi All,

    We have a small tree which my wife calls Asian Apple. The fruit tastes like an apple but is the size of a thumb with one seed in it. Two years ago there were many bees in the area and we had a bumper crop. Last year - no bees, no crop. This year seems to be a repeat of the past, so I was wondering if we could use something like a toothpick and buzz from flower to flower to pollinate them.

    What do you think?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jeff

    Yes, it is a jujube - I've been trying to post my correction, but haven't been able to make it take.

    Thx, Jeff
