Pollinator for dwarf yellow delicious Apple tree

/Home/Garden Basics/Trees/Types of Trees/Fruit Trees/Apple Trees/Dwarf Yellow Delcious Apple Trees

Question: I bought a dwarf yellow delicious apple tree and it does not say if it needs a pollinator. I'm assuming no becuase the ones that needed a pollinator had it written on the tag, this did not.
Answer: Although your yellow delicious apple will produce some fruit on its own, they are normally planted in pairs so they can pollinate each other. This pollination causes your tree to produce more fruit! Pair up your Yellow Delicious with Gala, Red Fuji or Granny Smith apple trees for best pollination.
