Question

can someone twell me how i can hand pollanate or what can i do to havem fruit this year

Answer 1

If the weather is the issue hand pollinating probably wouldn't work. The flowers are damaged by frost and rain. Hand pollinating a tree would be quite a job. In ideal conditions the weather is warm enough for the bees to take care of it but if it is cold and or raining the bees stay home. You are pretty much at the mercy of the weather. You could try raising mason bees, they work ealier in the spring when it is cooler. You can get mason bees at most nurserys and they are easy to raise. They don't sting and only live for a few weeks. They pollinate, mate, lay eggs and die. You can keep the larva for next year. There is a lot of good information about mason bees on line.

Answer 2

If it is wet and cold during the time that your fruit tree is in bloom, it will not get pollenated. Without the insects to spread the pollen, your tree will not set fruit. If it is too cool, what pollen that does get spread, may not reach the ovum of the flower, and again, no fruit will set. Unfortunately, there isn't much that you can do to force pollenation to occur if the weather isn't cooperating, so pray for favorable weather this year.

Warning: Most fruit trees are somewhat biennial when it comes to setting fruit. IE: If it didn't produce last year, you will likely have a very heavy crop this year. If you don't thin it down, it will have an extremely light crop next year if it is heavy this year. If it is really heavy, make sure you thin them or they will be really small, and you won't have much next year.
