Cross-pollination is when pollen from one plant is transferred to another with the help of insects (like bees and butterflies). Why not try growing these fruit trees in your garden?
trees need a cross-variety pollination partner. Ask your garden centre for advice on which varieties to grow together for the best results. Most apple trees will blossom in spring, with fruit ripening in late summer to early autumn. Plant them in full sun with rich soil and feed with a fruit
