What pollinates apples, besides bees?
"Ted Shoemaker" wrote in message ... What pollinates apples, besides bees? I'd like to plant apple trees -- only a couple -- in my yard. If I must have honeybees, then I'll look into the details of that. But honeybees, who wander far, are likely to run into insecticides. I live in a city, next to lots of neighbors and even a school. There's no way to prevent them all from using bug-killer. Thank you! Ted Shoemaker You're going to need honeybees. Neither apples nor honeybees are native to North America, so there's no specific pollinator for the apples. Other insects will work the blossoms, so pollination may occur but I would expect the fruiting to be spotty. |
