Green LONG hybridizing tags with larger OVAL hole for larger scape/branch diameters.
Measures: 1 inch wide x 3 + 3/4 inches long.
Premium has been added for specialized color.
(We can order other tag colors for you by request, and sell via reserve auction.)
** Attachs behind bloom with large branch diameters.
** Easy to detach and re-use.
**I have been able to fit at least 8+ hybridizing crosses per tag.. you could fit more with numbers/abbreviations.
**These hold up well through multiple hybridizing seasons.
Using GREEN tags has less negative visual distraction for people who prize preserving their garden look while still hybridizing to their hearts content :)
The more you buy, the more you save. I blew through 3000 tags between July and August !!
Using tags makes it a CINCH to collect pods. I grab pod and tag and put in small 2 x 3 baggie...or larger for multiple crosses of the same. No clipboards... no cross referencing sheets to check wire colors.... NO FUSS..... :) I like easy. Also easy to see who pods were formed by ( pollen parent) to produce more successful pods quickly.
TIP: when I hybridize I cut my blooms in half the next day. This allows for better visual interest in the garden ( especially for photos) and it also allows the pod to form with less of a burden ( old bloom weight). I find it saves pods from breaking off.. It also keeps the large hole tags on as well as the pod develops.
