Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Brunswick Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium 'Brunswick')
Brunswick Blueberry is a self-fertile blueberry plant, meaning that it can produce fruit with its own pollen. However, you can increase your yield by planting multiple blueberry varieties together, which can cross-pollinate each other and lead to larger and more flavorful fruits.
It is important to note that pollination requires bees and other pollinators, which transfer pollen from the male parts of flowers to the female parts. To attract more pollinators to your blueberry plants, you can provide flowering plants nearby, such as clover, wildflowers, and flowering shrubs.
Additionally, make sure to avoid using pesticides that are toxic to bees and other beneficial insects, as this will diminish the pollination process and ultimately affect the quality and quantity of your blueberry crop.
