I do have an crab apple (very small apples)I have two apple trees bro. There are only a couple apple trees that are self pollinators. If you only have one apple tree your **** out of luck without finding some pollin from another apple tree or a crab apple tree.
I take a small artist brush and swab the inside of the flower from one tree and then swab the flowers of the other tree. Bees do a pretty good job but i like to make sure while the trees are still small. If you Have any neighbors with apple tres that bloom at the same time yours does you could ask them if you could have a small limb with flowers and use it to pollinate.
Its important that if you get another apple tree make sure it blooms at the same time are your still fked.
