The timing of spring can impact the apple crop, but pruning trees in late-winter will help them maximize their potential, writes Oak Duke. Late winter is the perfect time to trim apple trees. Tips ...
A relatively small number of cultivars are "triploid", meaning that they provide almost no viable pollen for themselves or other apple trees. Apples that can pollinate one another are grouped by the time they flower so cross-pollinators are in bloom at the same time. Pollination management is an important component of apple culture.
The central flower of the inflorescence is called the "king bloom"; it opens first and can develop a larger fruit. [6] Open apple blossoms are damaged by even brief exposures to temperatures −2 °C (28 °F) or less, although the overwintering wood and buds are hardy down to −40 °C (−40 °F). [8]
The Haralson's parentage is Malinda open pollinated. DNA testing has shown that Wealthy is the likely pollen parent. [1] The tree is hardy and vigorous, but relatively small. It has a strongly developed central leader and wide-angled lateral branches. The flowers bloom late, and the fruit ripens in early October.
Pristine apple is a hybrid cultivar of 'Co Op 10' x 'Camuzat' domesticated apples, which are descendants of the 'McIntosh' apple and the 'Starking Delicious'. This cultivar was developed and patented in the United States by the PRI disease resistant apple breeding program, [1] in Indiana, United States in 1994, for its resistance to apple scab. [2]
The wild apple is a deciduous small to medium-sized tree, but can also grow into a multi-stemmed bush. It can live 80–100 years and grow up to 14 metres (46 feet) tall with trunk diameters of usually 23–45 centimetres (9– 17 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches), although diameters exceeding 90 cm (35 in) have been recorded.

Blossoms and leaves of the 'Dorsett Golden' apple cultivar. Dorsett Golden is a 'Golden Delicious'-like cultivar of domesticated apple and is descended from it, but is different with that it is early season, and most importantly, it needs a lower amount of cold weather (less than 300 hours) to go into blooming, so it is possible to grow in warm climates.
