Apple Pollination Groups



Each pollination group represents a period of 3-4 days, depending on the season. The sequence varies slightly from year to year, according to location, weather, and other factors; an apple may sometimes appear a group earlier or later than indicated.

The rootstock also exerts an influence; for example, trees on MM106 tend to flower about 8-10 days earlier than the same tree on M27 or M9.

T denotes triploid; it may self-pollinate but will only pollinate other trees in a limited way.

The flowering season is around 21-28 days depending on the season so each of the 7 'flowering groups' represents 3-4 days.

Brogdale's average flowering season, with trees on M9, begins with group 1 on 1st May.
