What could pollinate both a Zestar and a Honeycrisp? #866547
Asked April 30, 2024, 8:57 PM EDT
We live in central MN and planted one Zestar tree and one Honeycrisp, believing that their blooming seasons would overlap. Unfortunately, they do not as we are just a little too far north. Is there something we could plant that would overlap both of their blooming seasons? I heard that a Manchurian crabapple has some potential, but I’m not sure if that would work for us in central MN. Thanks!
Stearns County Minnesota
