Apples are self-unfruitful, which means that they need to be cross-pollinated with another variety of apple tree in order to produce fruit.

Some apple varieties, such as Golden Delicious, will produce a crop without cross-pollination from a second variety.<\/p>\n

Apple trees need pollinators in order to produce fruit. While some apple trees are self-fertile and will produce fruit without a pollinator, every tree benefits from a partner. In order for pollination to occur pollen must be transferred from one tree to another. Pollination by bees is the most common and efficient method of transferring pollen from one apple tree to another.<\/p>\n

When you’re enjoying a piece of fruit, it’s hard to think about the fact that the seeds inside could produce a whole other tree. And that tree would then produce fruit that is different from the parent fruit. It’s an interesting thought, and it makes you wonder what kind of fruit you would get from a seed you found on the ground. Would it be just as good as the parent fruit, or would it be something that is not good at all?<\/p>\n

A few people have asked me about my apple series that I started a little over 4 months ago, so I thought I’d give a brief update.<\/p>\n

Overall, I’m really happy with how the series is going. I originally started it as a way to document my journey of starting an apple tree from scratch, and it’s been really gratifying to see it progress. The tree is now starting to produce fruit, and I’m really excited to see how it does in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Thanks for all the support and interest!
