    I have just purchased one of these plants and the tag says that it needs to be pollenated, but it doesn't say how!
    Can anyone tell me what to do please.
    Thanks

    Hi Billily,
    As far as I know, they are self fertile, in other words, they will form berries without you doing anything.
    One thing I notice is your in Folkestone, is it a bit chalky down there?
    Reason I ask is that Gaultheria is a lime hater, and it needs an acid soil.
