Which Self-fertile Plum, Pear and Cherry?

Thanks for the previous answers on apples......I'm onto other fruits now.

I'm looking for self-fertile fruit trees to plant in my garden; a Plum, a Pear and a Cherry.

Any recommendations (sweet not acid).

Thanks.

Which Self-fertile Plum, Pear and Cherry?
Sweet cherries usually need pollinators. Sour, or pie cherries are self-fertile. Bing and Black Tartarian sweet cherries willpollinate each other.



Keifer Pears are self-pollinating. And although Bartlett are listed as needing pollinators - they are also known for not having read the book, and they often will pollinate themselves anyway.



There are many plums that are self-fertile. Damson and Methley are two - but there are others.
Reply:Nanking cherry,one of the most beautiful flowering eatable fruits.
Reply:Opal plum, stella cherry, most pears will need a pollinator this could be up to 100 yards away from your tree as bees do not respect fence lines.
Reply:Self fertile varieties of the fruits required include.

Plum,Victoria,Cook/eat.

Early Laxton,Eat.

Pears.

Only one variety which is almost self fertile,

Conference.Pears generally need cross pollination.

Sweet cherries,

Early Rivers,

Governor Wood,

White Heart.

Note that cherries normally make large trees and that the Morello Cherry(Sour) is the only self fertile variety.
