Shop by Need
Start with what your yard needs and we'll show you the trees, berries and vines that fit. Not enough room for two trees? Junipers next door? Frost that takes the blossoms every spring? A fall that ends early? There's a page for each of those below.
Pollination
Most fruit needs a second variety blooming at the same time to set a crop. These pages sort out which plants fruit alone, which need a partner, and which need a little more planning.
- Self-fertile fruit trees
- Self-fertile berries, grapes and shrubs
- Self-fertile cherry trees
- Self-fertile apricot trees
- Partially self-fertile fruit trees and plants
- Triploid apple trees
- Plants that need a male and female
- Good pollenizers
Our pollination maps show which varieties bloom together.
