About This Product
Product Name: Garden & Grove 3 ft. Honeycrisp Apple Tree with Large Delicioulsy Sweet Fruit Perfect for Eating Fresh
Product Description: Honeycrisp apples, with a firm crisp and honeyed-sweet tangy flavor, can taste even better when grown in your home garden. This variety was created in Minnesota for flavor and ability to grow in extremely cold winters there. Boasting larger cells, Honeycrisp offers a juicier and crisper bite than other apples. Red striped, orange-yellow skin is an excellent complement to the crisp flesh, which strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Old apples coming out of year-round cold storage that are sold at grocery stores simply cannot compare to the excellent sweet and tart flavor experience that comes from a freshly picked Honeycrisp homegrown in your own backyard. This apple tree grows to a compact size suitable for both urban and suburban landscapes.

Something to keep in mind about these:

From This Old House website:

Honeycrisp apple trees don't self-pollinate, so they need other apple trees that are six to 12 feet away to help with fertilization. Fuji, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious apple trees work well as pollinators because they survive in the same hardiness zones as the Honeycrisp apple tree.

I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'll buy them.

Thanks, OP!

With all this discussion about pollination, it's worth mentioning that crab apple trees are often some of the best pollinators. I had an apple tree when I lived in Michigan and there were tons of crab apples in the neighborhood. Also, if a neighbor has an apple tree it will act as a pollinator as well.

Also, if you're interested in having a fruit tree, an apple tree is a good choice, but it behooves you to read up on pruning and spraying schedules. Those two things are the difference between having more apples than you can possibly use and having a few worm-riddled apples each year.

Finally, Honeycrisp isn't the easiest variety to grow. There's a reason (beyond its versatility and deliciousness) that it commands a premium at the grocery store. I'd encourage you to read up on your area and determine what variety will grow well. Every state has a university that specializes in agriculture. In Michigan that was Michigan State and they produced good resources for home gardens and orchards.

I was thinking that was about most apple trees? Which is why we went with a peach tree....then come to find out had more space than anticipated and could have gotten two apple trees anyways Confused

So can having two of these work to pollinate each other or do you need another type?

Edit: I guess I re-read it and answered my own question. They don't self pollinate so having two that dont pollinate wont work...

Just FYI for those wanting an apple tree but don't have room for two trees. Golden delicious are self pollinating. They will however produce more fruit with another variety.

You can also get an espalier tree with multiple varieties grafted onto the tree.

Was going to mention the same thing, great tip here! Ultimately when thinking about good pairs, just google it! It's most important that your trees are flowering at exactly the same time; different varieties will bloom and have mature flowers at different times.

My Father-in-Law used to do grafting on fruit trees. When I was in my twenties (more than two decades ago) it almost seemed like science fiction to see two different kinds of fruit on the same tree.
