I am researching honey crisp apple trees, and I am considering planting one in my back yard in the spring.
I understand that similar apple trees do not pollinate each other, and I must look for an early blooming apple or crab apple tree for pollination. At least I think that's correct.
My neighbor across the street has 2 apple trees in her back yard, I think one is crab apple and I'm not certain of the other type.
Is this too far away or would the crab apple tree in my neighbor's yard work for pollinating a tree in my back yard? I'm guessing the distance between the two trees would be something like 30 yards or so.

Also please post any links to resources about pollination distance. Thanks.

If there are any bees left in the spring they should take care of it. RScott
