Pollinating Apple Trees

Posted on timeJuly 31st, 2008 by userjulian in catGardening Tips, Trees    flag(3) Comments


Most apple trees are, to some extent, self-infertile and so heavier crops occur when they are pollinated by other, compatible varieties. Generally, different varieties of apple trees that flower at about the same time will cross-pollinate one another although there are some that both need a pollinator and refuse to repay the favour.

These are “Triploid” apples, so called because the minimum number of apples required (including a triploid) so all bear fruit is three; two pollinators to pollinate one another, either or both of which will also pollinate the triploid.

I’ll sort of add to this as one of us finds a blog we like.

Bad news first – it is written in the USA and it concentrates on North American trees and things woody. The author is Genevieve Netz who sounds as if she has been in love with trees for years.

Why choose a Boysenberry Bush?

Posted on timeJuly 25th, 2008 by userjulian in catTrivia (or are they?)    flagNo Comments


There is an increasing variety of hybrid berries on the market, which has led to a bit of confusion between Tayberries, Loganberries and Boysenberries to mention three.

If you were choosing just variety, then we think Boysenberry plants have some real advantages over the rest. But first to parentage, as a Boysenberry is a complex soul, and you sort of need to hang on to your hat for this one.
