I have read that Adenium obesum typically are not self-fertile. I have also read reports that indicate you can readily get seed pods by manually pollinating (the same plant).
I know Adeniums do not readily self-pollinate in the manner of, say, peppers and tomatoes, which do not need intervention to set fruit. So, is the real issue that Adeniums don't self-fertilize, rather than that they are not self-fertile?
I have never yet tried to pollinate my Adeniums, but I recently got a seed pod from one of my plants. In fact, I have several seedlings sprouting from that pod. I was just curious as to whether it was most likely self-pollinated, or more likely crossed with the variety blooming right beside it.
