Trees that are cross-pollinated or pollinated via an insect pollinator produce more fruit than trees with flowers that just self-pollinate. [1] In fruit trees, bees are an essential part of the pollination process for the formation of fruit. [2] Pollination of fruit trees around the world has been highly studied for hundreds of years.

Prunus × eminens or Prunus eminens is a species of small cherry tree native to central Europe. [a] It is a naturally occurring hybrid of sour cherry, Prunus cerasus, and dwarf cherry, Prunus fruticosa, occasionally found where their ranges overlap. Like its parents, it is a tetraploid with 32 chromosomes.
The Van cherry tree is hardy, vigorous, and a heavy bearer, [5] but overloading can cause it to produce small fruit. [6] Like most cherry varieties, Van is self-incompatible; it can be pollinated by many other cherry varieties, including Bing, Montmorency, and Stella, among others. [7] Van blooms about 3 days before Bing. [2]
Prunus subg.Cerasus is a subgenus of Prunus. Species of the subgenus have a single winter bud per axil. [1] [note 1] The flowers are usually in small corymbs or umbels of several together (occasionally solitary, e.g. P. serrula), but some species have short racemes (e.g. P. maacki).
Trees up to 30 m (98 ft) tall have been found growing in the southern Appalachians, with the largest found on the western slopes of the Great Smoky Mountains. Its foliage is thin, [ 5 ] with leaves 4–11 cm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long and 1–4.5 cm ( 3 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) wide.
Prunus ilicifolia flowers. It is an evergreen shrub [4] or small tree approaching 15 metres (49 feet) in height, [12] with dense, hard leaves [4] (sclerophyllous foliage). The leaves are 1.6–12 centimetres (3 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches) long with a 4–25 millimetres (1 ⁄ 8 –1 in) petiole [12] and spiny margins, somewhat resembling those of the holly.
In winter they produce red buds, opening to 5-centimetre (2 in) diameter deep-pink double flowers. [4] [5] The trees, which are usually propagated by chip budding or grafting, prefer a well-drained location in full sun. [4] [6] Kanzan Cherry tree in full bloom in April in Virginia, USA.
