What else can I help you with?
Do you need two tangerine trees to cross pollinate?
No, tangerine trees are self-pollinating and do not require another tree for fruit production. However, having multiple trees nearby can potentially increase the yield and quality of the fruits.
Do you need a pair of almond trees?
Yes, you typically need at least two almond trees for effective pollination, as they are not self-pollinating. Planting a pair or more ensures that the trees can cross-pollinate, leading to better fruit yield. Additionally, choosing different varieties can enhance pollination success.
Is it true you need bees?
Yes, they help pollinate different flowers and fruit trees
How does an apple flower pollinate?
It depends on the type of apple tree, some are self pollinating and some need other trees pollen in order to pollinate.
Do you need two apple trees to polinate?
Not necessarily. If you have other plants in your garden (Flowers, shrubs, etc.) you will not need two apple trees. If you have no other plants in your garden, then yes, you will need two apple trees to pollinate.
Does there need to be two walnut trees to produce walnuts?
No, walnut trees are monoecious, meaning individual trees have both male and female flowers, allowing them to self-pollinate and produce walnuts without the need for another tree. However, having multiple trees can increase cross-pollination and potentially improve fruit yield.
How many trees can a bee pollinated?
A single bee visiting flowers for nectar and pollen can potentially pollinate several hundred flowers a day, depending on the species of bee and the availability of flowers. This can contribute to the pollination of multiple trees in the area.
What conditions do you need to grow a lemon tree?
Lemon trees may grow in areas with mild winters (since they are sensitive to frost). In such climates, the trees should be planted in sunny areas with good water drainage.
Why do Apple farmers purchase bees?
Apple farmers need bees to pollinate their apple trees. Where bees have been eradicated by pesticides, more bees, or hand pollination, are necessary for the trees to bear fruit.
Do you need 2 Stella cherry trees to bear fruit?
It depends on the variety. Many varieties of fruit tree are self-sterile, meaning that they cannot pollinate with themselves. Due to grafting, if you buy two trees of the same variety, they are genetically identical- basically they are the same tree. So, you need a different variety of the same fruit in order for cross pollination to occur. Some trees are more genetically compatible for cross pollination, which is why in nursery catalogs, different trees are said to be good pollinators. Commercial orchards often plant crab-apple trees in with the apples to ensure good pollination.
How long does the average lemon tree live?
Lemon trees can live more than 30 years. You need to take care of them and not put them in a container.
Why doesn't greenhouses need insects to pollinate flowers?
In short, they do. Greenhouses are not usually sealed, and insects can get in and out, and they will pollinate the flowers.
