Self-Sterility of Fruits 
Many fruits do not bear real crops 
if planted separately. Pollen from 
nearby trees of different variety 
is often needed. Noted on these 
pages by:— 
e@ = self-unfruitful. Do not plant 
by itself, but always with another 
variety of the same fruit to cross- 
pollenize. 
(P) = good pollenizer. 
Self-Fruitful Self-Unfruitiul 
Some apples All-pears 
Most peaches Some apples 
All sour cherries Sweet cheries 
PLUMS: All but prunes are self- 
unfruitful and need pollenizers. 
Trifloras and European kinds will 
not cross-fertilize.
