What Varieties of Apples and Peaches are Self-Sterile? 



Some varieties, including Delicious, Mcintosh, Red Astrachan, 

 Mutsu, Wealthy and Northern Spy are known to be self -sterile . On 

 the other hand, Baldwin, Oldenburg, Early Mcintosh, and Yellow Trans- 

 parent are known to be partially self -fertile . Even self-fertile 

 varieties produce larger fruit when cross-pollinated. Many peaches 

 are self -pollinated but Hale and Mikado are known to be self-sterile

 the transfer of pollen with individual flowers.
