I've ordered a handful of apple and crab apple trees for the land but my wife wants a couple at home that are easier for us to pick and enjoy. I have the following on order:
From Wallace:
3 Red Baron
3 Chestnut Crab
3 Dolgo
From Midwest Deer Trees:
2 Kerr
2 Yellowbelly crab
2 Enterprise
My questions - will I need to plant more than 2 to get good cross pollination at home? Which 2 should I plant at home knowing they wont be for deer as much? A red Baron and an enterprise or chestnut crab is what my first thought was. We do have a lot of Eastern Red Cedars in our yard so they would need to be very CAR resistant.
