Strong pollen limitation in genetically uniform hybrid chestnut orchards despite proximity to chestnut forests
Abstract Key message In arboriculture, the number and diversity of pollen donors can have a major impact on fruit production. We studied pollination insurance in hybrid chestnut orchards (C. sativa × C. crenata) provided by nearby wild European chestnuts (C. sativa) in southwestern France. Most frui...
