QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Is the Early Pink Lady a good pollinator for William's Pride?

    No, they are too far apart in bloom time. You can scroll down to the pollination chart here, and remember plants in the same bloom group will pollinate, as well as varieties in the directly adjacent bloom groups. 

  • Would a mini dwarf William’s Pride grow well in a pot? If so, what size?

    It can yes, if the container is large enough. A half wine barrel, or larger, will be enough.

  • Would a Liberty Apple be a good pollinator choice for a William's Pride?

    Yes, they will do well together.

  • I just ordered a williams pride mini dwarf. I cant find anywhere that says its bare root or in a pot..??

    It is bare root.

  • Will this cross pollinate Dorsett Golden Apples as they are also an early bloomer and summer Apple?

    Yes, they cross pollinate fine, though William's Pride will not thrive in low chill areas.

  • Will this apple tree grow well in North Texas? Can you recommend the best fruit trees to grow in North Texas?

    Texas is too hot for most apples. Mulberries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, some grapes, some cherries, and most plum hybrids all do well in Texas.

  • Will this tree cross pollinate with Honey Crisp?

    No, they are too far apart in bloom times.

    Roughly 6 by 6 for width and spacing!

  • How much space does a mini-dwarf apple tree need? I see they can get to be 6' tall, but what is the reach of the branch and root system?

    6' by 6' by 6' are the common dimsensions for a mini dwarf. Your own little apple cube!

    Mini dwarf means a tree roughly 30% of standard vigor.
