Pollinator for honeycrisp
We recently planted a honeycrisp apple tree and we are not sure if we need another pollinator. In our yard there are 2 other new apple trees which we think are gala. There is also a new pear tree. Also there are two large old trees-a pear and a golden delicious apple tree which produce some fruit but not very edible. We were told we need a Macintosh pollinator-is this true? If so, can we graft a MacIntosh onto the galas?
Hi Ksherwood.
Re your apple tree.
The golden and the gala will both cross polinate your tree ok.
Goldens are used in many orchards for pollination.
If you want to graft a Mcintosh to any of your apple trees then they would all accept the scion ok but I would suggest that you graft to the youngest and healthiest one.
