All apple trees require pollination for fruit set. Even though some varieties are listed as self-fruitful, they will set fruit more heavily and more regularly if they are cross-pollinated.

Flowering crabapples (see list below) have become popular pollen sources because they generally have longer bloom times than apples and are easy to manage. The general recommendation for numbers of pollenizer trees is between 2%-10% depending on varietial mix and desired fruit set.
