Companion Planting & Garden Value: Apple

Malus domestica

Spacing: needs about 16 square feet per plant. Mature height: 15-20 ft.

Pollination

Not self-fertile: a single plant won't reliably set fruit. Almost all apple varieties are self-unfruitful and need a second, different apple variety (or a compatible crabapple) blooming at the same time within about 100 ft to set fruit at all. (source)
