APPLE<br />
FRUIT TREES<br />
NOTE: ADDITIONAL SIZES ARE ON PAGES 156-162<br />
Pollination of Fruit Trees<br />
Apples—Overall, apple trees need another variety to be<br />
productive. That variety needs to be blooming at the<br />
same time and be within a ¼ mile (the distance a bee<br />
can fly) of the apple tree. Generally speaking, in the<br />
Denver Metro area there are enough of both apple and<br />
crabapple trees that pollination is not usually a problem.<br />
But, if you want to be safe, plant two varieties<br />
within 100' of each other.<br />
Apricot—Use two varieties, or in most cases, Nanking<br />
Cherry will do the job.<br />
Sweet Cherries—Use two varieties, sour cherries will<br />
work as a pollinator.<br />
Sour Cherries—Self-fertile.<br />
Peaches—Self-fertile.<br />
Pears—Most need another variety for better yield.<br />
Ornamental Pears work as well.<br />
Plums—Most need two varieties. American plum or<br />
Western sand cherry will pollinate as well.<br />
