I was just wondering about pepper pollination.
Does it only take one grain of pollen to fertilize a pepper flower or can multiple grains from different plants get in on the action.
If its only one pollen grain how on earth do peppers get the chance to cross pollinate with peppers being self pollinators.
It would seem like an awfully big stretch for the first plant to get their pollen onto the second plant before the second plants self fertilizes.
Or am I missing something?
