Nearly all common varieties of apricot, peach, nectarine and sour cherry are self-pollinating. Other fruit trees, like most apple, plum, sweet cherry and pears are cross-pollinating or self-unfruitful.
Which cherry trees are self-pollinating?
In addition to Stella cherries, Black Gold and North Star sweet cherries are self-pollinating. All of the remaining varieties must have a cultivar of a different type to pollinate successfully. North Star and Black Gold are late-season pollinators while Stella is an early-season variety.
Do I need to pollinate cherry tree?
Most cherry trees need cross pollination, performed by bees, to set a crop. A few varieties, such as Stella and Compact Stella, can set a crop on their own, because they are capable of self-pollination. Morello (sour) cherry trees are also self-fertile.
