Cherry trees can be pollinated by artificial pollination and bee pollination. Artificial pollination requires making a pollinator, tying a gauze ball with a stick, and rubbing back before the Nanking cherry blossom to help pollinate. Bee pollination needs to be carried to the hive before it blooms, and can be pollinated after it blooms. Because different varieties of pollination are more likely to produce sweet fruits, so you can choose pollination trees according to the planting varieties, generally using Stanley and Rabins.

Cherry trees need cross pollination, and different varieties of pollination, often can produce sweet fruit. If you plant naweng or Binku, you can use topaz, purple and other varieties for pollination. If you plant red light or purple, you can use naweng or Topaz to pollinate. Naweng and Binku are incompatible and cannot pollinate each other. Hanging red and giant red can be mutually pollinated trees. In addition, Steiner and Rabins have strong affinity and are good pollinators.

3. Bee pollination

Bee pollination is a kind of assistant way. Compared with artificial pollination, it is more convenient, but the fruit setting rate is not as high as artificial pollination. In general, beehives are selected for pollination, and several beehives are placed according to the planting area. Put them in place before flowering so that they can pollinate in time. In rainy weather the effect is not good, need artificial pollination.
