SITUATION
Most suburban situations provide good pollen due to the close proximity of other gardens. It is not always necessary to have pollinators if the bees and other pollinating insects are generous with their visits.
If you have no other Apple tree close by then select two varieties in the same group or the adjoining group ie group 2 and 4 will pollinate group 3 as will any others in group 3. Some varieties are self fertile.
For more information on rootstocks, pollination, planting, pruning and care of fruit trees and soft fruit bushes see our Fruit Growers Handbook
