Hello. Can you advise on where I can get some apple tree pollen to manually pollinate my apple tree? Free, if possible but also willing to pay a reasonable fee. I live in Saint Paul.
Thank You.

You get the most unusual question award. But someone also asked the same thing in 2016. I agree with their answer.

Another idea would be to go to a public park with a blooming crabapple tree and harvest your own pollin. Or the Arboretum in Chaska may let you harvest some from their trees.
