Apples Are Self Unfruitful, Cross-pollinator Required<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

A frequent question of newbie fruit gardeners is what will pollinate what. Do I need many varieties or can all be the same variety? The four common terms are used:<\/p>\n

Self-pollinated:<\/strong> transfer of pollen occurs within the same variety.<\/p>\n

Cross-pollinated:<\/strong> transfer of pollen occurs between two varieties.<\/p>\n

Self-unfruitful:<\/strong> low fruit set unless the blossoms are fertilized with pollen of another variety.<\/p>\n

Self-fruitful:<\/strong> varieties that set fruit with their own pollen.<\/p>\n

Apple:<\/strong> self-unfruitful with two or more varieties required for good cross-pollination. Some varieties are poor pollen providers (\u2018Winesap\u2019, \u2018Jonagold\u2019, \u2018Mutsu\u2019 are examples) and a third variety is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pear:<\/strong> mostly self-unfruitful with two or more varieties required for good cross-pollination. Asian pears do not pollinate European pear varieties.<\/p>\n

Plum:<\/strong> Japanese plum, represented by varieties \u2018Burbank\u2019, \u2018Shiro\u2019, \u2018Santa Rosa\u2019, and \u2018Methley\u2019, are self-unfruitful. European varieties do not pollinate Japanese varieties.<\/p>\n

European plum, represented by \u2018Stanley\u2019 and \u2018Damson\u2019, are self-fruitful and pollinate other European varieties. All other European plums require pollen from another variety.<\/p>\n

Sour (Tart) Cherry: <\/strong>self-fruitful; recommend \u2018Montmorency\u2019, \u2018Early Richmond\u2019, \u2018Meteor\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sweet Cherry: <\/strong>self-unfruitful, <\/strong>cross pollination required; recommend \u2018Hedelfinger\u2019, \u2018Ranier\u2019, \u2018Viva\u2019, \u2018Valera\u2019, \u2018Venus\u2019, \u2018Hardy Giant\u2019. The variety \u2018Stella\u2019 is self fruitful.<\/p>\n

Peaches:<\/strong> self-fruitful, but heavier yields when two or more varieties are planted.<\/p>\n

Strawberries<\/strong> \u2013 self-fruitful<\/p>\n

Blackberries<\/strong> \u2013 self-fruitful<\/p>\n

Raspberries<\/strong> \u2013 self-fruitful<\/p>\n

Grapes<\/strong> \u2013 American bunch, French hybrids, V. vinifera<\/em> types \u2013 self-fruitful<\/p>\n

Grapes<\/strong> \u2013 Muscadine \u2013 self-unfruitful, cross pollination required<\/p>\n

Blueberry <\/strong>– self-unfruitful, cross pollination required<\/p>\n
