While bees, bats and other pollinators do the work of spreading pollen, apple trees should be planted near varieties that promote cross-pollination. Best fruit set occurs when the king blossom–the largest and first blossom to open within a flower cluster–is pollinated. For pollination to take place, the bloom period of the pollinizer and the king blossoms of the apple tree must overlap.    Take a look at the bloom periods of different apple tree varieties and which apple tree types are or are not pollinators. Plant your new apple trees near a known pollinator to start growing delicious apples. ![IFA\_Blog\_Backyard Fruit Trees 101\_Apple-Blossom+Chart-2](https://info.ifa.coop/hs-fs/hubfs/IFA_Blog_Backyard%20Fruit%20Trees%20101_Apple-Blossom+Chart-2.png?width=1200&height=859&name=IFA_Blog_Backyard%20Fruit%20Trees%20101_Apple-Blossom+Chart-2.png "IFA_Blog_Backyard Fruit Trees 101_Apple-Blossom+Chart-2") ![IFA\_Blog\_Backyard Fruit Trees 101\_Apple+Chart-1](https://info.ifa.coop/hs-fs/hubfs/IFA_Blog_Backyard%20Fruit%20Trees%20101_Apple+Chart-1.png?width=1200&height=859&name=IFA_Blog_Backyard%20Fruit%20Trees%20101_Apple+Chart-1.png "IFA_Blog_Backyard Fruit Trees 101_Apple+Chart-1") ## Fruit Growing Tips Get growing by reading about Backyard Fruit Tree 101, IFA's Growing Guide for Apples, fruit tree pruning tips and insect control for fruit trees. Discover more fruit growing tips by visiting [IFA's Helping to Grow Blog](https://grow.ifa.coop/tag/gardening?hsLang=en).
