Honey Crisp and Zestar Pollination #202397

Asked July 25, 2014, 9:10 PM EDT

Will Honey Crisp and Zestar apple trees work together for pollination?

Jackson County Oregon

Expert Response

Probably not very well. Zestar is an early bloomer while Honey Crisp blooms mid-season. Ideally, you want both of your varieties to bloom during the same time period.
