Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Carmine Jewel Dwarf Cherry (Prunus fruticosa x cerasus)
Carmine Jewel Dwarf Cherry is self-fruitful, but it will produce better yields if cross-pollinated with other sweet cherry varieties.
Bees and other pollinators are attracted to the flowers of the cherry tree and facilitate the transfer of pollen from the male anthers to the female stigma. Wind is less effective in pollinating cherry trees.
If you have other cherry trees in your garden, planting Carmine Jewel Dwarf Cherry alongside them will increase the chances of successful pollination. It is recommended to have at least two compatible sweet cherry varieties within a half-mile radius for good pollination.
It is also important to note that Carmine Jewel Dwarf Cherry is not cross-compatible with sour cherry varieties or other fruit trees such as plum or apricot.
