Fruit Tree Pollination Guide
$37.00 incl. GSTThis handy guide lists pollination partners for hundreds of common (and uncommon) fruit trees, giving you the information you need to select the right trees for a fruitful backyard orchard.
Pollination partners for fruit trees are one of those things that most gardeners have heard of, but few really understand! Knowing if your tree needs pollination can be a complete mystery. It’s one of the ‘hidden’ reasons for fruit trees failing to produce fruit.
Many fruit trees need a compatible partner nearby to help them set fruit — it’s nature’s version of matchmaking. In this guide, we demystify how pollination works, explain which trees need partners (and which don’t), and help you choose the best pollination companions for a thriving, productive home orchard.
The guide includes:
- Definitions of common pollination-related terms;
- Things that can affect pollination;
- Stages of flowering;
- Order of blossom times for deciduous fruits;
- Pollination needs for different types of fruit trees;
- Comprehensive lists of pollination partners for most common varieties.

This guide makes it possible to choose the right trees for almost year-round fruit harvests while avoiding gluts and fruit ripening at inconvenient times.
The actual date that a variety ripens for harvest can vary wildly. It’s affected mainly by your climate, but also microclimate and the conditions of each season.

- More than 200 apple varieties

- Ripening sequence for blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries
- 75+ cherry varieties

- Almost 150 varieties of plum
- Harvest sequence for subtropicals, including avocados, custard apples, feijoas, figs, mangoes, and mulberries.
This is just a selection of available varieties—there are many thousands of fruit tree varieties available in the world. In this guide, we’ve focused on trees that are likely to be available for you to buy. Wherever possible, we’ve included trees from many of the well-known nurseries around Australia, and in some cases overseas as well.
