Flowering times of old and new apple varieties in South Tyrol
A suitable pollen donor variety must not only have a pollen compatible with the main vari-ety, the flowering period of both varieties should also overlap sufficiently. The flowering time is crucial for the pollination of apples and thus influences yield and fruit quality. One particular question is...
