Regarding Pollination and Pollinators:

Some fruit trees are semi or full self-fertile, but most need a pollinator to produce a heavy fruit crop. A pollinator is another variety with a flower season that overlaps the variety in question and produces adequate pollen. Many urban areas have enough existing fruit trees so pollination is never a problem. If there are none nearby, it is necessary to plant pollinators.

We do our best to source quality trees, refunds on bare roots are, unfortunately, not available. Trees subject to availability.
