Cross-pollination with ‘Manzanillo’, ‘Lechin de Sevilla’, and ‘Picudo’ increased initial fruit set in ‘Gordal Sevillana’ (synonymous ‘Sevillano’) but did not affect final set under favorable conditions for fertilization. However, the results suggest that under other conditions, cross-pollination with ‘Picudo’ can increase yield. Crop quality was improved with cross-pollination, as there was a reduction in shotberries.
