Best Answer

All varieties of apple trees should be cross-pollinated with another apple or crabapple

variety.

Although some apple varieties, such as Lodi, Liberty, Empire, Winesap, Jonathan, Jonagold, Gala, Golden Delicious, Rome and Granny Smith may be listed as self-fruitful, they will set more fruit on an annual basis if they are cross-pollinated.

What is the difference between granny smith apples and red delicious apples?

One is green and one is red. They are different varieties of the same fruit, and come from different seeds. A common technique used in apple growing is grafting, where one branch containing apple flowers and/or fruit is cut from a tree and literally connected to another tree. That tree will now produce fruit from both its original flowers and the new branch. Theoretically, one tree may be producing every variety of apple or other applicable fruit known.

How do you make fruit trees bear fruit?

The first thing is to ensure you have a compatible pollinator. It needs to be a variety which overlaps the blossoming time of your tree - Jonathon is a useful pollinator but a specialist fruit nursery can advise of what you need especially if you can tell them when your tree flowers or can take them a fruit sample. Also, anything that attracts bees will be helpful.
