Ever wonder how your holiday nuts get pollinated? Chestnuts are pollinated by FLIES and BEETLES—not bees. Pecans rely entirely on wind. Walnuts use wind with help from cold-hardy native bees. In this special holiday episode, we explore the surprising, unglamorous pollination strategies of nut trees. Spoiler: it's not the story anyone expects, but it's the one that actually works.
