| I have a few questions about growing berries. I bought a Cinderella Honeyberry at the green house and asked if I needed another plant for a pollinating. I was told no, but now I have heard otherwise. Do I need one? I also bought a Wolfberry plant. Does this need a pollinator? Can the wolfberry and Honeyberry be planted within a few feet of each other? |

| Cinderella is a russian type of honeyberry which is considered a pollinizer for better quality plants, like borialis. You do need two types for pollination. The best ones ive read about are "honeybee" and cinderella and I have both. The easiest way to ensure pollination is to plant a variety of them. I thin its usually one pollinator to 4 desired types |

| I think it will be okay to plant the Wolfberry(Goji)near the Honeyberry.They have different growth habits though. The Honeyberry will be a shrub,while the other like a whippy vine. Goji's grow better in high pH soil,about 8,so lime added may help.From what I've read,they don't need much fertilizer. Brady |

| Thank you both for the reply. This was very helpful! Now, the search for a pollinator. The greenhouse closed for the year. |
