Do you literally but two plants near each other and hope for the best? Is there another speedier or more efficient process

One thing, that I have seen done, is the graphing of one tree to another. For example, if you take a cutting from one type of apple tree and graph it to a different type of apple tree the tree will initially have a limb that is different. Over time the tree will naturally cross-pollenate and the result will be a new type of apple, giving you a new type of apple seed. You can then plant that seed and have a whole new type of apple tree. I'm not sure if that is the answer you are looking for, but it will work. At least with apple trees.

You will need to do morte than that. Without some sort of insect to spread the pollen form one plant to another. You would have to do that yourself. Ask your local flourist they could really help you out. Oh and make sure that the plants are the same species.

I know that some plant nurseries take brushes and collect the pollen and then brush it on the plants they want to cross pollinate.

Its very simple process. However, it varies from plant to plant. For example in cotton, you have to just cut anthers and brushed on female selected plant. in contrast in wheat you to be very careful while doing so.

hey there when you cross breed it usally is done by using the pollen for the two plants
