    Default Apple trees

    I want to get an apple tree,but I have heard you have to plant 2 for pollination.Is that for all varieties or just certain ones? I am hoping to get a dwarf Mac or honeycrisp maybe. I am in Zone 5.Thanks for any advice.

    You can get a 3in1 apple tree, they are self pollinating.

    You can also try Raintree Nursery. They have a beautiful selection of both single and combo trees.

    Let me know if you find a supplier who ships all over the country (rather than just a local nursery in your area). I'm looking for fruit trees, too.
