Use our easy pollination checking tool to quickly find partners for a given cherry tree.
We grow a good range of self fertile sweet cherry trees that do not need to be pollinated (that link takes you to a pre-filtered list, click 'Clear All' at the top of the refine menu to see all our cherries).
However, more than half of our range, including all the earliest cropping cherries, will need a pollination partner to bear fruit.
Pollination Groups:
Pollination groups represent flowering periods, and trees will cross pollinate with other trees in their own group and adjacent groups, e.g. a tree in Pollination Group C will cross pollinate with trees in groups B, C, and D
