Default Re: Basjoo seed

Because in their natural habitat they are dependent on animal vectors for pollination. So if they are growing outside of their natural habitat, it is unlikely something will be able to efficiently take the place of the natural pollinator, so hand pollination is a good idea to make sure you get seed.
