POLLINATION 
réeoures a FULL YIELD of FRUIT Eacé GYeaz 
Sometimes fruit trees, particularly Apple trees raised from even the finest quality nursery stock, 


fail to bear heavily or regularly. The fault is not in the trees. 
Here’s a simple explanation: 
Most all pullets or hens will lay eggs. But if you want to hatch the eggs, a Rooster must fertilize 
those eggs before they are laid. It takes about one Rooster to every 15 or 20) hens. 
It’s very much like that with Apple trees. A “Rooster Tree,” or Pollinator is needed to insure 
a full crop and regular production. 
The Apple Pollination Chart below shows what varieties go with each other for best results.
