Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.

To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!

You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

   I should think that would work. Peaches are pollinated by bees, and I would think bees are capable of flying 50 feet or so.

   Many varieties of peach are self-fertile, so you may not even need a second tree to get fruit. But having a second tree nearby will usually give better fruit production even on those that are self-fertile.

   I would put the range of bees at more like several hundred meters and possibly farther. They certainly fly farther from the nest but I don’t think they would range that far from a target location when gathering nectar and pollen. The range could be much greater even in the several miles range but that would be infrequent since some pollen is going to remain on the workers. Some ranges are much more restricted so it would depend on the environment.
