Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Top Hat Blueberry (Vaccinium 'Top Hat')
Top Hat Blueberry is a self-fertile variety, meaning that it doesn't necessarily need another blueberry plant nearby to produce fruit. However, having a second blueberry plant can improve pollination and increase yield.
Bees are the primary pollinators of blueberry plants, so it's important to plant Top Hat Blueberry in an area that is conducive to bee activity. This means providing a habitat with a variety of flowering plants that bloom at different times of the year, as well as avoiding the use of pesticides that can harm bees.
If there are no bees in the area or if bee activity is low, manual pollination can be done by using a small brush or cotton swab to transfer pollen from one flower to another.
Overall, Top Hat Blueberry is a relatively easy-to-grow plant that is capable of producing delicious fruit on its own. However, taking steps to improve pollination can lead to a more bountiful harvest.
