Supplemental Tree-Fruit Pollen for
Apples, Cherries, Pears, and Plums
Why Fruit Trees Bloom But Don’t Produce Fruit
Many backyard trees struggle with at least one of these
Lack of Pollinizers
Many fruit trees need pollen from a different variety to produce fruit. Without one nearby, blossoms may not develop into fruit.
Poor Bloom Overlap
Trees may not bloom at the same time, preventing proper pollination and fruit development.
Poor Spring Weather
Rain, wind, or cold can keep bees from pollinating blossoms, reducing fruit set, and overall yield.
A Simple Way To Improve Fruit Set
Supplemental pollen helps bridge the gap when natural pollination falls short—giving your trees a better chance to produce consistent, healthy fruit.
Works when natural pollination is limited
Targets blossoms directly for improved fruit set.

How It Works
1. Store Pollen
Store pollen in your freezer immediately upon arrival to maintain viability.
2. Time Your Application
Begin at 20-30% bloom.
Apply again at 70-80% bloom.
3. Apply to Stigma of Flowers
Use a small brush to apply pollen directly to the stigma.
Important: Timing Is Critical
Applying pollen too late—when all flowers are fully open—will not be effective because the stigmas are no longer receptive.
Apply in dry conditions above ~55°F.
How To Order
Getting pollen for your backyard trees is simple.
1 Choose Your Fruit Type
Pick the pollen that matches your tree
2 Place Your Order
Choose the quantity you need—each container includes 5g of pollen, ideal for backyard trees.
3 We Ship It Frozen
Pollen is a living organism and must be kept frozen to maintain viability. Orders ship Monday through Wednesday with cold packaging to help protect pollen during transit.
Common Questions Before You Order
Getting Started
-
A 5g container is enough for 1-2 seasons for most backyard trees, depending on the tree size and how heavily you apply.
-
Apply at 20–30% bloom (about 2–3 out of every 10 blossoms open). Choose freshly opened flowers—look for moist stigmas and plump, undried anthers. Repeat the application at 70–80% bloom.
-
Apply in the morning once the dew has dried. Choose a calm, dry day. Avoid applying before rain, as moisture can reduce effectiveness or wash pollen away.
-
No problem. Our pollen comes from “universal pollinator” varieties that are compatible with most backyard trees. Just match the fruit type (apple, cherry, etc.) to your tree.
Storage & Viability
-
Place it in the freezer immediately. Pollen is a living product—keeping it frozen and dry is essential to maintain viability.
-
When kept frozen and dry, pollen remains viable for up to two years. Any leftover from this season can be stored in your freezer and used next spring.
Results & Expectations
-
No—but it can significantly improve your chances when natural pollination is limited. Factors like weather, tree health, and bloom timing still play a role.
-
No—this supplements natural pollination. It helps when bee activity is low or conditions aren’t ideal.
Shipping:
-
To ensure you receive "live" pollen, we ship exclusively via FedEx 2-Day. We only ship on Mondays through Wednesday to prevent your order from sitting in a warm distribution center over a weekend.
-
Yes! We have conducted extensive, incremental viability testing on our pollen to see exactly how it handles transit. Our research shows the pollen is much hardier than originally thought.
Don’t Stress: If your gel pack arrives soft or liquid, your pollen is still high-quality and ready to use.
Action Step: Simply move the pollen into your freezer immediately upon arrival.
The Golden Rule: Keep it in the freezer whenever you aren't actively out in the orchard pollinating.

to produce this season.
