Fruit Trees---pollination?

spyfferoni · February 28, 2007

I have 2 apple trees. One we planted in the front of the house and the other in the back. I am wondering if they would do better closer together for pollination reasons. Also, do you need to do the same thing with pears, peaches and apricots? I'm thinking I would like some different fruit trees, but I don't have the space to plant 2 of each fruit.

Thanks,
Tyffanie

If your trees are oh say less than 200 yards apart (house notwithstanding) it should not make any difference. Bees are dilligent workers.
