Know Which Varieties Pollinate Each Other

These free interactive charts show which pairs work, which bloom too far apart, and which will never pollinate each other.Most apples, pears, plums, cherries and blueberries need a compatible partner to set a real crop.

“Better looking and healthier than any plants I have received from any company so far. ANY COMPANY!!! 20 years of permaculture has brought hundreds of plants to me — none compared to Food Forest Nursery, not even close.”
“Champions! This nursery exceeded my expectations. The roots were so large I had to re-dig a bigger hole. My only regret is that I didn’t find them sooner.”
“Ordered seven serviceberries and received nine. Very nice looking bare-root plants — twice as large as some I’ve purchased elsewhere, and well rooted.”
“I’ve ordered from Food Forest Nursery three years in a row. The roots are always really well developed — strong growers. The raspberries and blackberries fruited the first year!”
“I ordered fruit plants from other companies and the quality wasn’t nearly as good. Food Forest Nursery will be my go-to for future orders. Thank you for helping me with my homesteading dreams.”
“My order arrived in Alaska in great condition and in a timely manner. Any issue I thought existed was quickly addressed. Great communication throughout.”
“They arrived at the right time for planting in my zone, in great condition, and are in the ground growing very well! The ordering experience was seamless and the response time for my questions was fast.”
