Apple Pollinizers
Plantings which do not use varieties providing
adequate cross pollination should use one of the following varieties
for secondary pollen source. Pollinizers should be placed every
fifty feet and staggered in adjacent rows. Contact your
ACN representative for recommendations for your specific needs.
Chestnut
An excellent pollinizer for early to mid-season bloom cultivars. Trees are medium in vigor and slightly upright, with large, white blossoms. The large size fruit is marketable for use in preserves or decorations.

EMLA 26
EMLA 7
EMLA 111
Pollination Information
Chestnut crab is an early blooming variety and can pollinate all other early blooming apple varieties as well as varieties with mid-season bloom times.
Hyslop
A mid-season blooming crab apple that provides large red fruit 1 to 1-1/2 inch in diameter. Often used for jams and jellies because of its large size, and sometimes added to cider where tanin content is desired. Care must be taken to avoid biennial bearing, which reduces effectiveness as a pollen source. Tree is medium in vigor, precocious, with moderate resistance to fire blight.
