How far away should cross-pollinating trees be from each other?The books and articles which I have read always seem to say "nearby".What is "nearby",5 yards,50 yards,or what?

Hi Snooky,
Are we talking about fruit tree here or trees in general?

Fruit trees,Johnboy.I am thinking of planting a plum and there are plum/greengage trees 50 yards or so from where I intend planting it .If they will act as pollinaters then it will give a better choice of variety to plant.Unfortunately only room for one.
