Pollinators
There are some that are self pollinating but not all are so we need to know which ones work well together to get the most out of our trees and shrubs.
Most fruit tress require cross pollination by another cultivator from the same group
​
Apples- requires cross pollination for all fruit to set. All apples, crabapples and applecrabs are closely related and can be used to pollinate one another.
​
Apricots- need a different variety of Apricot to pollinate
Plum - requires cross pollination by a compatible plum. Hybrid plums cannot cross pollinate with another hybrid plum. Brookgold and Toka can pollinate hybrids such as Pembina and Tecumseh.
​
Pear- requires cross pollination by another pear variety.
​
Blueberry- many are self pollinating however planting multiple cultivators will often result in larger berries and better yields.
​
Cherry- self pollinating
​
Current & Gooseberry - self pollinating however if currents are located near gooseberries the yields are better.
​
Grapes- most are self pollinating
​
Haskap or Honeyberries- They require cross pollination with another variety that flowers at the same time.
" Aurora" + "Borealis" or "Honey Bee"
"Tundra" + " Honey Bee"
​
Raspberry- self pollinating
Saskatoon - self pollinating
Strawberry- self pollinating
