Pollination Question #872255

Asked June 09, 2024, 10:09 AM EDT

Hi-

I live in Coon Rapids and we have a Mount Royal (dwarf) plum tree that has produced a lot of fruit every year.  We just bought a Superior plum tree and I realized after the purchase that it is a japanese/american hybrid.  Is there any chance that the Mount Royal will be able to pollinate the Superior, or do I need to invest in another plum tree - and what would you suggest?

Thanks-

Karl

Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extension. 
No the Superior will not pollinate with a Mount Royal.  

The Superior needs an Alderman, Toka, P. Americana or a P. Nigra.

There may be others.  You can check it out by googling what would pollinate a Superior.
