I really don't want to explain genetics here but almost all fruit trees need cross pollinated from one or more similar species. You dont live in a barren environment as there is wild blossom available so I still maintain your practice though not harmful is unnecessary. Genetics is not country specific and nor is bee behaviour.

Surely Polar bears eat all the fruit left by the wolves and Bison

Not really a greenhorn I have been growing a wide variety of fruit and veg for decades and working with bees for about 20 years. Like the hippocratic oath the first lesson is do no harm. Placing additional blossom can help and there is nothing wrong in doing that but I suggest its unnecessary as pollinators will work their magic regardless thats why no one I know does it its unnecessary.

It makes me happy seeing people share their love for horticulture and the riddle/quiz twist you put on the thread makes it all the more interesting. I recall you said you would like to husband honey bees I would encourage you to do so. The native Polish bee is under pressure from commercial bee keepers with their hybridized stock and needs support, the same in Ireland.

I finally got round to reading the linked site its generally interesting but there are some errors in the description of bee behaviour especially their flight height and distance travelled.

The site reveals the answer to your question. I really think placing additional blossom is unnecessary despite what the linked site says. The average distance of travel for honey bees for example is 3 miles (4.5 Km) and they can and do fly well over 50 meters. the logic in the website seems sound but it is unnecessary as the pollinators (not just bees) will do the job for you. having said that it will do no harm.

I would think the additional blossom was sourced from a place more than a few Km away otherwise there is no point. Its interesting to me as I said I don't know anyone who does this. Do your neighbours have similar trees or is there a market for them?

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [291]

Perhaps you are placing more blossom to aid pollination but again something doesn't seem right. Most cultivated fruit trees are self pollinating even if they are diploid or even triploid. I've never known anyone to do that so it must be something else.

Yet you started an argument with her leading to a strange threat...


whatever that is supposed to mean...

When you cyberstalk people dont tell them because people quite rightly tend to take a dim view of such things

My guess would be that you are attempting to propagate the trees by layering however several things don't seen right. Fruit trees are usually grafted onto a suitable root stock and layering, even air layering, tends to use soil in the vessel to stimulate root growth. I have layered fig trees but never stone fruit. If I was doing that I would like to control the height with either dwarf or medium root stock but it looks like you have the space for full size trees.

The Angola/Namibia thing as you call it was the democratically elected government of a recently freed colonial country being attacked by one of the most repellent regimes the world has ever seen. Apartheid South Africa funded and supported by a plethora of NATO countries and Israel had their asses handed to them by the Angolan government supported by their Allies from the Caribbean. All credit to Cuba who fought the might of the West and knocked the bollocks out of the racist scum.

If he didnt work he could not have claimed benefits so was not supported by the state. If he was claiming benefits he must have worked for a minimum of seven years.

I agree to a certain extent that migration law needs overhauled, there is no quick and easy way to do that. All published work aims to influence public opinion.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


There are, however until recently China was not a player and the CCCP was more interested in supporting liberation movements. It was the US with its invasions and coups that bears the lions share of the blame. Migration from the global South really took off with the rise of outsourcing from the west as the west shafted their people who it must be remembered voted for that crap. A ven diagram of migration and invasion will show an almost perfect overlap coinciding with the turbo charging of the flow of people.

I'm not against migration and have no problem with ethnicity or religion of people. What I do oppose is the hypocrisy of those installing governments who's economic policies created the problem and are now screaming blue murder
