Pollination of fruit trees is required to produce seeds with surrounding fruit. It is the process of moving pollen from the anther to the stigma, either in the same flower or in another flower. Some tree species, including many fruit trees, do not produce fruit from self-pollination, so pollinizer trees are planted in orchards.
Green gooseberries Red berries of Ribes uva-crispa. Gooseberry (/ ˈ ɡ uː s b ɛ r i / GOOSS-berr-ee or / ˈ ɡ uː z b ɛ r i / GOOZ-berr-ee (American and northern British) or / ˈ ɡ ʊ z b ər i / GUUZ-bər-ee (southern British)) [1] is a common name for many species of Ribes (which also includes currants), as well as a large number of plants of similar appearance, and also several ...
Where the same plants have non-bee pollinators such as birds or other insects like flies, these are also indicated. Pollination by insects is called entomophily. Entomophily is a form of plant pollination whereby pollen is distributed by insects, particularly bees, Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), flies and beetles.
Ribes (/ ˈ r aɪ b iː z /) [5] is a genus of about 200 known species of flowering plants, most of them native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. [2] The species may be known as various kinds of currants, such as redcurrants, blackcurrants, and whitecurrants, or as gooseberries, and some are cultivated for their edible fruit or as ornamental plants.
Physalis plants grow in most soil types and do very well in poor soils and in pots. They require moisture until fruiting. They require moisture until fruiting. Plants are susceptible to many of the common tomato diseases and pests , and other pests such as aphids , whiteflies , spider mites , and the false potato beetle ( Leptinotarsa juncta ...

Pollination If your goal is to grow fruits, then you'll need to think about pollination. Monheim notes that date palms are dioecious, where male and female flowers grow on separate trees and are ...
Plants fall into pollination syndromes that reflect the type of pollinator being attracted. These are characteristics such as: overall flower size, the depth and width of the corolla, the color (including patterns called nectar guides that are visible only in ultraviolet light), the scent, amount of nectar, composition of nectar, etc. [2] For example, birds visit red flowers with long, narrow ...
