Flowers must be pollinated for fruit to form (see alsop.290). Some apples are "self-fertile"— pollination is achieved by bees flying from flower to flower on the same tree. Others cannot set a crop on their own and need to be planted within bee-flying distance of another cultivar that is both compatible and in flower at the same time. Your neighbors yard is usually close enough. A crab apple can also make an effective pollinator.

Hang traps in mid-June and leave them in place until after harvest. In small orchards of 10-15 trees, hang 1 trap for every dwarf tree, 2 or 3 traps for every semi-dwarf, and up to 6 for each full-size tree. In large orchards place 1 trap every 100 among the perimeter trees in an orchard block. Also use 1 or 2 traps per acre within the block, and put a trap in every wild or abandoned apple and crab apple tree within 400 yards of the orchard. Renew the sticky surface of the balls ev ry 2 weeks by scraping off the accumulated insects and applying new coating. In dusty locations, renew traps more frequently.
