That's great to hear those are the two apples I planted this year honey crisp and Granny Smith and I picked them both up a month ago at Home Depot thanks for the info
I planted a red delicious semi mini dwarf this year not too far from the Cortland? that was on the property we bought last year. The Cortland needs work. Prunes, sprayed, and fertilizer. It produced a lot of apples but most were small. I pruned a lot of dead branches and put fertilizer on the ground around it. Probably the most care it had in a long time. I have learned a lot and still learning. Any help or advice is appreciated.
TY for this vid. 👍 Quick question for you. I just planted a "Pink Lady" apple tree. I also planted an "Anjou" pear tree 15 feet away from it. My question is, will these 2 help eachother to cross pollinate and produce a lot of good fruit? I know that it's obviously best to have trees of the same genus together for pollinating partners, but with the apple and pear mix, along with all the bees we have around our property, we're hoping they'll be good pollinating partners. I appreciate your response back. TY.😊
Hey @getreal3336, I've got an answer for you:) Our Horticulturist says you may see an increase in bee and pollinator activity with trees that flower at the same time. However, a pear tree and an apple tree will not cross-pollinate each other. Anjou will need a compatible partner like Bartlett, Bose, Comice, or Seckel and Pink Lady will need a partner like Cortland, Empire, Frostbite, Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Macintosh (to name a few). - Whit
Hi there Steve--We're so excited you're planting a Granny Smith! Jonathan will work well as a pollinating partner. If you're ever looking to expand your orchard, Fuji, Ginger Gold, Honeycrisp, Cortland, Freedom, and Gala Apple trees will also pollinate. Happy planting! -Whit
Ok I really need an explanation not covered here. For Pink Lady you listed McIntosh as a polinator, then what about McIntosh, why isn't Pink Lady listed as a pollinator under it? Does that mean my Pink Lady tree will bear but the McIntosh will NOT if planted together? I'm a bit confused. Please help me. Some of the otherr varieties also same problem I see with the list of pollinators. The only 2 that are reciprical pollinators listed are Granny Smith and McIntosh. So does that mean both of those trees will produce when planted together?
My husband and I live in zone 9 and we planted a Granny Smith apple tree . We found out that if we want the tree to produces bigger apples we need another apple tree to cross pollinate. We just don’t know what other kind of apple tree we need to plant in our zone . Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated . It would need to be compatible and flower at the same time ( which I’m sure you already know this if you’re answering my question 😊) . Thank you
Hey @julienaquin248, while Granny Smith's are self-fertile, you're right - it'll produce more with a pollinating partner. For your zone, we suggest Fuji, Ginger Gold, or Honeycrisp apple trees. Hope this helps:) - Whit
Picking just 5 was so hard! Gala is an amazing apple tree. The apples store well in cold temperatures for months and the tree itself only needs about 500 chill hours to produce. Which makes it a great option if you're in warmer zones. Can't wait to hear about how growing your own apples go! -Whit
Hi good day I would like to purchase some of your scion wood please, l live in Trinidad 🇹🇹 and I have no option in getting any ,please help me out if you can
Beautiful apple varieties❤

@@Naturehills TY for that expert info. I sincerely appreciate it.
Looks like I'm planting more trees. Lol 😊
Wondering if a Gladiator crab or Thunderchild crab would pair well with Honeycrisps trees? Thank you.
I am planting Granny Smith this spring and will be planting the Jonathon variety next spring. Are these two varieties good pollinating partners?

What does it mean, zone 3-9?
Sweetango kills honeycrisp.
Winesap and Arkansas black are triploids and won't pollinate other trees.
Most apples don't need as many chill hours as advertised many will grow in warmer climates

You made a mistake on the McIntosh. No way does that grow in zone 11
Sweetes firmest m
McIntosh, really ? Is it disease resistant !
Not disease resistant, but still my favourite tasting apple.

I thought Gala is the #1 apple variety so I bought a tree. 🥲

If it’s #1 according to your tastes or use then why be down about your choice?
