Pollination Info
Juliet Dwarf Cherry (Prunus fruticosa x Prunus cerasus 'Juliet') Pollination Information
Juliet Dwarf Cherry is a self-fertile cherry variety, which means that it can produce fruit even without cross-pollination from another cherry tree.
However, having a cross-pollinator tree nearby can improve fruit quality, quantity, and size. The recommended cross-pollinators for Juliet Dwarf Cherry are other sweet cherry varieties such as Bing, Rainier, or Stella.
It is important to make sure that the cross-pollinator tree blooms at the same time as the Juliet Dwarf Cherry, as cherry blooms only last for a few days, and bees or other pollinators must visit the flowers during this time for successful pollination to occur.
Planting a cross-pollinator tree within 50 feet of the Juliet Dwarf Cherry would be ideal, as it would increase the likelihood of bees or other pollinators visiting both trees during the same bloom period.
