POLLINATION 
Sweet Cherries are self-unfruitful, so two or more 
varieties must be planted. Where Napoleon, Bing, 
and Lambert are to be planted together, another 
variety, such as Windsor or Black Tartarian must 
be added as the first three will not pollinate each other. 
The Sour varieties are self-fruitful. Sour varieties 
will not pollinate the Sweets and vice versa.
