Cherry tree pollination

Question

I just planted a North Star Cherry tree (a self pollinator), and a Van Cherry tree. The Van Cherry tree needs a pollinator.

My question is: Will the North Star Cherry tree be able to pollinate my Van Cherry tree or must I plant another Cherry tree that is compatible to the Van? Thank you.

Answer 1

North Star Cherry is not a pollinator for the Van Cherry.

Montmorency is the prime pollinator.

Here is a link with many other choices for a pollinator.
