Abstract
Prunus avium L. ‘Stella’ was shown to be fully self-fertile but bee pollination improved final fruit set and number of fruits harvested, compared to pollination by wind and gravity. Pollination of individual flowers by their own pollen was at least six times more frequent than by pollen from more distant flowers.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
