Apple trees are grouped into four flowering groups – A, B, C, and D, which denote roughly when they bloom in the spring (early, mid, late and very late). Apples are self-sterile unless they are tetraploids and will require a pollinator in the same flowering group so they will bloom around the same time and can pollinate each other. Some varieties are triploids and will require a pollinator but will not pollinate other apples. If you have a triploid variety, you will need two additional apple varieties in the same group.
Apple varieties are hybrids and do not come true from seed.
These estimates for how long Apple takes to sprout, grow and harvest are from real observations from real gardeners, right around the world.
