Male
Pollinizer for above A. arguta species. About one male is needed for every eight females. There is evidence that A. arguta cultivars can be pollinated by A. deliciosa males, which produce more pollen than arguta males. However, A. deliciosa males are much less hardy than A. arguta males; thus, you risk crop loss to cold injury when using fuzzy males (see "Pollination" for more information).
Other cultivars/selections that may be available include Dumbarton Oaks, 74-45, 74-8, and Michigan (reported to have almost twice the fruit size of Ananasnaya). These cultivars have not been widely tested in Oregon.
