| is there any way to tell if two apples are in the same flowering group? I was looking at candy crisp and Cinnamon Spice Apple but I'm not sure if they are in the same flowering group.... |

| CINNAMON SPICE is a Midseason bloomer according to the following information http://www.treesofantiquity.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=33 Frequently group 3 and 4 pollinate one another and here is a link that discusses that concept http://www.ashridgetrees.co.uk/hedging-trees-fruit-questions/fruit-tree-growing-guides/apple-tree-pollination Those two apples are not specifically listed as pollinators for each other some blooms should overlap but that's variable based on the rootstock they are grown on etc. Candy Crisp apple is in flowering group 4 http://www.orangepippintrees.com/pollinationchecker.aspx Golden delicious is a pollinator for both so it might be worth planting so see this listing as well http://www.starkbros.com/products/fruit-trees/apple-trees/cinnamon-spice-apple |

| The best pollinators such as golden delicious are grown primarily as a pollinator. In many orchards you will here Golden delicious called the "rooster tree" . The apples are good but certainly not a honeycrisp, gala, Fuji, pink lady etc. Crab apples similarly are very good pollinators. |
