WILL YOUR SELECTED TREE PRODUCE FRUIT?

The cultivar you select will only produce fruit if it has another apple tree nearby that is in the same flowering group unless it is self polinating.

A triploid variety does not produce viable pollen and it cannot fertilise other trees nearby - it also needs another tree to fertilise it.

Popular varieties for general cross polination are Jonathan and Sturmer Pippin - both are in flowering group 3. They will not cross polinate flowering groups 2, 4 or 5 and other cross polinators with a suitable flowering time will need selection.

You need adequate chilling hours in the winter to promote flowers and then suitable weather for the bees to do their polinating work at flowering time.

Apple growers in the Northern states should select only low chill apple varieties if they want flowers and fruit.

ENGLISH TREE GROUP.
The old English favourite Cox's Orange Pippin is not self fertilising, Bramley Seedling is a triploid (pollen not viable) so with these two trees alone
in your yard only the Bramley will produce fruit. With another variety of suitable flowering time all three trees will produce..

SUGGESTED ALL SEASON APPLE GROUP - If you want to be picking apples all season

A Gravenstein with a Lord Nelson to fertilise it will produce Gravenstein apples in January/February. Because Gravenstein is a triploid a third cross polinator is needed for all three trees to produce fruit.

Next perhaps a Gala or Royal Gala with Opalescent to fertilise it to produce apples with flavour in March.

Consider Red Fuji and Golden Delicious for picking in April.

Granny Smith and Pink Lady for late April and into May.

Sturmer Pippin and Lady Williams for late picking - with Sturmer tasting better after June after a few weeks shelf life.
