The science (and sometimes the snake-oil) can run deep when it comes to fruit tree pollination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You could read endless books and research studies on how to optimise your orchard with a diversity of cross-pollinators to achieve a bumper crop.<\/p>\n

For most growers, it’s actually pretty straightforward to get the right results. This guide should take the confusion out of how best to pollinate your fruit trees.<\/p>\n

In the pollination tables below, first find the variety you’re interested in. Then, any tree in the same group, or a group either side, will be a good pollination partner. For example, a group D tree is compatible with trees in groups C, D, and E. And where there are important exceptions, we’ve noted them. Simples!<\/p>\n
