Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Braeburn Apple Tree
The Braeburn apple tree is a self-fertile variety, which means that it is capable of setting fruit without needing a pollination partner. However, having a compatible pollination partner nearby can improve fruit yields. Braeburn apples are primarily pollinated by bees, which transfer pollen from the stamens of one flower to the pistil of another.
Some recommended pollination partners for Braeburn apple trees include Gala, Fuji, Jonathan, and Red Delicious. Planting these varieties nearby can help increase cross-pollination and fruit production.
To attract bees to your apple tree for pollination, avoid using chemical pesticides that can harm or deter them. Planting flowers and herbs that attract pollinators nearby can also help increase fruit set.
