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.

Is a daffodil a self-pollinator or a cross-pollinator?
NARRATOR: The daffodil is called an entomologists flower because insects transfer the pollen from one flower to another. In their quest for food, insects brush against anthers and stigmas, effectively cross-pollinating the flowers.
What is an Empire Apple?

What apple is a cross between a McIntosh and red delicious?
Empire apples. They are in season in September and October and can be eaten until January. Because they don't bruise easily, they are great for packed lunches.
What other ways can a gala apple tree cross pollinate?
A Gala apple tree can cross-pollinate with other apple varieties that bloom at the same time, such as Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith. Cross-pollination can occur through wind or by pollinators like bees, which transfer pollen between flowers. Ensuring that compatible varieties are planted within proximity (typically within 100 feet) can enhance fruit set and yield. Additionally, using different apple cultivars can improve genetic diversity and fruit quality.
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.
What are the two types of pollinator?
The two main types of pollination are self (or autogamous) pollination and cross (or heterogamous) pollination. Self pollination - is when pollination is tansfer from the anther to the stigma of the same flower. Cross pollintion - is when pollination is transfer from the anther to the stigma of another flower
Does a Parker pear need a pollinator?
Yes, Parker pears are self-pollinating but will benefit from cross-pollination with another pear variety for improved fruit set and quality. While they can produce fruit on their own, planting a compatible pollinator nearby can enhance yields and the size of the pears. Recommended pollinators include varieties like Bartlett or Bosc.
What is the fruit of technology?
Sort of a cross between an apple and an orange.
