Has anyone ever heard of a seed bank that sells male pollen or any other place to purchase pollen. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

nope, doubtful anyone would market pollen, unless some new method of long-term storage, came to be ... :smokin:
There was a seed bank in Holland that sold pollen in the early '80s, I did bussiness with them in person and via mail for a bunch of years. I think they went out of bussiness in '85 or '86. I haven't seen or heard of anyone since then.Quote:

I talked to some friends up north a trip is what it is going to take. I will let you know if it works out Thanks for your thoughts
