Last year I got Kieffer and Ayers planted. This year I added Enterprise, Florina, Goldrush & Asian Olympic. The list I compiled today, for next spring planting, consists of Chestnut Crab, Wickson Crab, Liberty, Kieffer, Enterprise, Freedom, and another Asian of some sort to help pollinate the Olympic.
My goals are November drop times and into December. I know the Liberty and Freedom will probably be sooner than that, which leads to my next goal... disease resistance. I feel like I really need a Liberty for that reason. And that's why I then chose a Freedom. I read that Liberty needs at least 2 separate pollinators.
Does anyone see any problems with pollination anywhere in this plan? Am I missing a must-have type? Should I really try to get an Arkansas Black in there? Should I just drop them all and hammer in a whole bunch of Enterprise? I'd like to properly finish up this little orchard then get back to spruces and bedding. Thanks!
