APPLES: All apple trees require a second variety for

pollination, but any apple or crabapple blooming at the same

time, within a quarter mile, will probably do.

A: the variety is on standard rootstock

Rootstock determines the size, longevity, hardiness and growth

habits of a tree. Most of the apples offered are on standard (full-

sized) Antonovka rootstock

B: the variety is on B118 rootstock

Semi-dwarfing rootstock that produces a tree that is about 85-

90% of a standard size.

C: the variety is on M111 rootstock

Semi-dwarfing rootstock that produces a tree that is about 65-

80% of a standard size

E: the variety is on V1 rootstock

Dwarfing rootstock that produces a small dwarf tree about 55%

the size of a standard tree

Planting distance:

Plant standard trees (A) 25-30' apart.

Plant Bud 118 (B) rootstocks 20-25' apart.

Plant M111 (C) rootstocks 15-20' apart.

Plant V1 (E) rootstocks 5-10' apart.

PEARS: Although some pears appear to be self-pollinating, we

recommend a second variety for pollination.

Pear blossoms are less attractive to bees than apple blossoms, so pears

should be planted closer together than apples to ensure pollination,

about 15–20' apart.

PEACHES: Peach trees are self-pollinating — a second

variety is not needed for pollination

Plant 15–20' apart.

PLUMS: Hybrid plums (American Plum Seedling) require a

second variety for pollination. Plant a cluster of trees close

enough together (3–6') for the branches to mingle.

European plums (Stanley) are self-pollinating—planting two

different varieties will improve pollination.

RASPBERRIES: Raspberries are self-pollinating — a

second variety is not needed for pollination.

Everbearing Raspberries (August Red & Polana) bear on first-

year canes

Summer-bearing Raspberries (Boyne & Latham) bear on sec-

ond-year canes

BLUEBERRIES: Lowbush blueberries are generally self-

pollinating—other blueberries nearby will help ensure pollination.

Plant 12" apart each way and cultivate as a ground cover.

Highbush blueberries require two varieties, three or more rec-

ommended, for pollination. Space them 3–6' apart (3' for the short-

er varieties) in rows 8–10' apart.

CHERRIES: Sweet cherries mostly grow into very large trees

and should be planted 15-20’ apart. Pollination requirements are specific

to each plant.

Pie Cherries are self pollinating and are significantly hardier than

sweet cherries but can be frustrating to grow. Although the trees are

fully hardy in Zone 3, flower buds may be damaged in colder winters.

Plant 15-20’ apart.
