The trees would need to be flowering at the same time, which forms the basis for “pollination groups”. In built up areas, it is unlikely that there wouldn't be another suitable apple tree within the required radius. Self fertile trees don't require a pollination partner, although they may produce better crops if there is one nearby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expand\"\u003eMORE\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. \u003cspan class=\"expanded\"\u003e This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree.
