Fruit Tree Pollination

Peach tree blossoms must be pollinated in order to produce fruit. Pollinators do the work of spreading pollen from one flower to another. Bees, bats and other winged animals are common pollinators. Some trees require cross-pollination or pollen from a separate plant or even tree variety–known as a pollinizer–in order to set fruit.

Self-Pollinating Peach Trees

Peach trees are self-pollinating. This means that the pollen from flowers on the same tree are able to pollinate the other flowers to produce fruit. Peaches can be grown alone and still bear fruit due to their self-pollinating attributes.

Improve Peach Harvests with Multiple Trees

While peach trees are self-fertile, planting another peach tree variety nearby can improve pollination and fruit set for larger yields. For the best results, plant peach tree varieties with similar blooming periods near each other.
