Apple Tree
For some years a large established eating apple tree in my garden has
stopped fruiting. I suspect is not self fertile and it stopped fruiting when a neighbour cut down their tree. I've no idea what type of tree I have. Any rule for picking a pollinator in this situation? Colin ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

Colin ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** It would help if you could remember when it flowered. Armed with that information, you could talk to one of the fruit tree nurseries (Ken Muir, Chris Bowers, Deacons, et al) who should be able to tell you to which Pollination Group your tree belongs. Once you know that, you can make a selection from a descriptive catalogue. Spider |

Wait till it flowers next spring, find a nursery or garden centre near you with same sort of growing conditions that sells apple trees, choose one that is in flower at the same time. -- Kay |
