I’m going to graft Dorsett Golden onto M-111 rootstock soon & I want to be sure to get the right pollination partner. Is Anna really all there is that will do the job? I’d love to have more choice

Hi Dee,
This is what I found,

Dorsett Golden Apple Tree Pollination

Dorsett Golden Apple Trees are not self-fertile. You will need to plant another variety to achieve fruiting. Below are the most effective pollinators we have chosen for your area…

I don’t really worry about pollination partners. Just about anywhere you can grow apples you will find all kinds of crabapples growing nearby. Edge of the woods, neighbors property roadsides etc. Bees can travel a long way.

Nothing. I have 2 Golden Dorsett originally and they have a lot of fruit. The rest of the apple trees I added later on, they still don’t have many blooms either.

Shell (of Alabama) is another possibility, according to Kuffel Creek.

Any low-chill apples like the one you have, will perform pollination between. thats the real point of Dorsett and Anna thing.
