  3. Fruit tree pollination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_tree_pollination

    A few are described as "self-fertile" and are capable of self-pollination, although even those tend to carry larger crops when cross pollinated from a suitable pollenizer. A relatively small number of cultivars are "triploid", meaning that they provide almost no viable pollen for themselves or other apple trees. Apples that can pollinate one ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_methods_in_plant...

    Plant species where normal mode of seed set is through a high degree of cross-pollination have characteristic reproductive features and population structure. Existence of self-sterility, [1] self-incompatibility, imperfect flowers, and mechanical obstructions make the plant dependent upon foreign pollen for normal seed set. Each plant receives ...

  6. Autogamy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogamy

    Self-pollination is an example of autogamy that occurs in flowering plants. Self-pollination occurs when the sperm in the pollen from the stamen of a plant goes to the carpels of that same plant and fertilizes the egg cell present. Self-pollination can either be done completely autogamously or geitonogamously. In the former, the egg and sperm ...

  7. Self-pollination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-pollination

    Self-pollination is a form of pollination in which pollen arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in gymnosperms) of the same plant. The term cross-pollination is used for the opposite case, where pollen from one plant moves to a different plant.

    Cap of Liberty' is similar to and may be related to other central Somerset varieties such as Lambrook Pippin. [2] It is considered to be of 'vintage' quality, i.e. capable of making single varietal cider. [1] The tree is extremely prone to apple scab, with some scab and consequent die-back being almost always present. It also has some ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malus

    A number of cultivars are self-pollinating, such as 'Granny Smith' and 'Golden Delicious', but are considerably fewer in number compared to their cross-pollination dependent counterparts. [citation needed] Several Malus species, including domestic apples, hybridize freely. [6]
