Cross-Pollination 



Recently several growers have asked about the suitability of certain apple 

 varieties for cross-pollination of each other. The following material about 

 pollination is taken from Special Circular #247 written by Dr. Franklin W. 

 Southwick. A copy of the Special Circular may be obtained from your County 

 Agent or from the Cooperative Extension Service, University of Massachusetts, 

 Amherst, Massachusetts. 



"The following table lists some varieties grown in New England which are 

 generally suitable cross-pollinizers for each other, according to their average 

 blooming season (exceptions are noted). However, most of those varieties 

 listed in the early group may be suitable for many of the midseason sorts and 

 the midseason are suitable for the late blosscHning varieties since considerable 

 blossoming overlap will occur in most seasons. However, it would not be wise 

 to rely on an early blocxning variety to cross-pollinate a late blooming variety 

 or vice versa. Bud sports (red strains) of all varieties will not cross- 

 pollinate each other or the parent variety even though they have viable pollen 

 because of their close relationship. For example, sports of Delicious, such 

 as Starking and Richared, will not cross-pollinate Delicious or vice versa."
