Most apple varieties do not pollinate themselves or any flowers of the same apple variety; this requires planting at least two different apple tree varieties close to one another so that the bees can pollinate. (There are actually some self-pollinating apple tree varieties if you are really short on space.

In general terms each species can only pollinate others of its own kind – apples will only pollinate other apples, pears will only pollinate pears, and so on. Amongst apples there is generally no distinction between crab apples, cider apples, and mainstream apples – they can all potentially cross-pollinate each other.

Tip. Unless you plant a self-pollinating apple tree, you need at least two trees for proper pollination. The trees should be different cultivars that flower at the same time.

The apple tree (Malus domestica) begins producing fruit after two to 10 years, depending on the type of rootstock or if it’s grown from seed. Dwarf trees begin producing fruit first, while seedlings require a minimum of six years of growth before fruiting.

This period usually lasts from around early to mid June until around late August to early September, depending on where the school is located. Some people in the United States consider summer the period from the summer solstice to the fall equinox. UTC date and time of solstices and equinoxes.
