Selected fruit
Plum
Plums are where pollination gets trickier. European plums usually need European partners, Japanese plums usually need Japanese partners, and hardy native or hybrid plums often need another hardy hybrid or native-type partner.
Keep partner trees within about 50 feet if you can. Plum bloom is early, so having a well-matched partner improves the odds in cool spring weather.
