Pollinating Plum Trees
When considering a plum tree, it's important to know if you are getting a Japanese or a European cultivar. Japanese and European plums will not cross pollinate. In fact, European plums are considered self-fruitful, meaning they do not need a pollinator to produce fruit. Varieties of European plums include Blue Damson, Brooks, French, Green Gage, Imperial Epinense, Italian, Seneca, Stanley and Yellow Egg.
