Good luck Don! I've had luck with many plants by drying the stigmas with pollen attached prior to freezing, then storing them at -20C (freezer). The freezing doesn't harm the pollen as long as it is dehydrated. The pollen then is usable once it thaws and should,in theroy anyway, last years in this state.

Benny, sorry if your site goes over this I have yet to read it!
