APPLE POLLINATION CHART
Most apples require a second variety for successful cross pollination, preferably another variety blooming at the same time. Since flowering generally extends for several weeks, there is some overlap between the early and late blooming varieties. Maximum fruit set will be achieved by avoiding a matching of early and late bloomers. Use the chart below, to find a successful pollinator by looking in the adjacent three columns for the variety you want to pollinate.
For example: Lodi will set best with another early bloomer like Liberty, Spartan, William’s Pride, or Akane. The late blooming Chisel Jersey would bear well with Northern Spy, Gold Rush or Wolf River as pollinators.
We normally carry the highlighted varieties.
Bolded varieties require special consideration regarding pollination. *** - indicates this apple is a Triploid. Triploids are considered pollen sterile because they cannot pollinate other varieties. Plant with 2 varieties that are able to cross-pollinate each other OR if limited on space plant your Triploid apple tree with a self-fertile variety. + - indicates this apple is SELF-FERTILE, requiring no other tree as a pollinator. However, most self-fertile varieties will produce better with another apple variety nearby.
