I bought about 18 bare-root fruit trees and am in the process of planting them.
I got them for $13 each.
I only got one pear tree, and now I am reading about pollination.
I'm not sure exactly what the needs of all the different apples, plums, and pear tree I got are.
But it looks like they need another tree in order to achieve pollination & produce fruit ?
Anyway, I have LOADS of pear seeds - and I don't feel like spending $50 on a potted pear tree now that the prices have gone up.

I found one chart. I think it's telling me that d'Anjou will not pollinate itself.
So - if I have a healthy pear tree that is not d'Anjou - even if grown from seed - is that good enough ? (to pollinate the d'Anjou)
