According to
Sky Nursery's handy
apple tree list (pdf file), Honeycrisp requires one ofthe following companion trees as a pollinator. I don't live in the vicinity of any other apple trees, so I have got to choose from among the following:
- Rosey Glow
- Chehalis
- Akane
- Spartan
Of these, Rosey Glow and Akane are the most attractive to me.
Rosey Glow ripens very early -- mid-August -- so it would be a nice foil to Honeycrisp's mid-September fall.
But, I can't find much information about Rosey Glow -- Akane might be the best choice, in spite of its later harvest.
