Do You Need More Than One Fruit Tree to Get Fruit?
A very common question asked when purchasing fruit trees is whether they need another one to produce fruit. The answer depends on the species and even more on the individual variety. Knowing how pollination works is one of the most important steps in achieving a reliable harvest.
Some fruit trees are self fertile, meaning their flowers contain everything they need to set fruit on their own. Even so, most self fertile types will carry a heavier and more consistent crop when another compatible variety is planted nearby.
