Self-pollinating apricot varieties include Tilton, Wenatchee Royal and Moorpark. Varieties that require another tree for pollination include Riland, Perfection, and Rival.
Self-pollinating (they don't need outside intervention)
Wind-pollinated (such as corn, spinach, many trees and grains)
Insect-pollinated plants.
Tomato plants are self-pollinating when left to their own devices (and desires), but the designation F1 Hyb alerts me that 'Celebrity' is an intentional cross made between two distinct and stable, or "pure," tomatoes, ...
Lingonberries are self-pollinating, but cross-pollination will produce larger fruits that ripen earlier. Besides, mixing fruit of several varieties will tickle your palate with all the fine, tart nuances of lingonberry flavor.
self-pollinating Crops which are self-pollinating do not require another plant of the same type in order to produce fruit.
They, too are self-pollinating so don't worry about undesirable crosses. Select your best tomatoes when they are fully ripe, but not rotting. Scoop out pulp and seeds, and place them and a small amount of water in a glass jar.
Some fruits, such as the peach, are self-pollinating: Just one plant is needed. Species that rely on cross-pollination, however, require the same or a closely related species blooming at the same time to yield a crop of edible fruit.
All sour cherries are self-pollinating and you need only one tree to produce fruit. Apples, plums and pears require two varieties for cross pollination. Select an apple variety that is fireblight resistant.
Since 'Peter's Honey' is a self-pollinating fig tree, Paul plants only one. Figs need full sun and a fair amount of room to grow because they'll slowly reach a height of 15 to 25 feet tall with a nearly equal spread.
Some trees are self-pollinating while others need to be planted in pairs. Some trees require three trees in order to be pollinated. Ask your local nursery if self-pollinating trees are available, otherwise, let the bees do all of the work! ...
It is also a good idea that can be used for self-pollinating varieties like peaches and nectarines. By choosing an early and late ripening variety the harvesting season can be extended. Choose two trees that are at the same stage of development.
Even self-pollinating plants such as tomatoes rely on bumblebees (most of which are feral) to shake and loosen pollen, which increases fruit set.
Cucumber 'Green Fingers' is a dwarf, self-pollinating cucumber with a thin skin that doesn't need peeling.

A 100-foot row produces about 50 quarts of beans. Beans are self-pollinating, so you can grow cultivars side by side with little danger of cross-pollination. If you plan to save seed from your plants, though, separate cultivars by at least 50 feet.
What you want to end up with is 15 to 16 canes per gooseberry bush. Each bud will open to present about four flowers. They are self-pollinating and do not even require bees to pollinate. The wind can do the job on its own.
