I think the pollination problem can be overcome
of course!

like in NZ with the Kiwi trees (which come divided in male and female, the female not producing fruitproducing pollen).
they stopped planting male trees and imported pollen instead.
(don't know about the actual pollination procedure which I will look up shortly...)

one batch of infected pollen destroyed orchards, the plants had to be burnt to get rid of the virus.
