An apple tree cannot pollinate itself. CROSSBLOOM is a free orchard incremental that plays in your browser. You take on your grandmother's orchard: seven old GOODWIFE trees on a slope, all one variety, so they barely crop. An apple sets fruit only on the days a DIFFERENT variety beside it is in bloom too. Bees carry the pollen, and they only work the trees around the one they are on.
The one rule Every variety blooms in its own window of spring: EARLY varieties on days 1 to 5 MID varieties on days 4 to 8 LATE varieties on days 7 to 11 a wilding CRAB all spring: it pollinates any other variety, but crab pollen sets only half a crop Early and mid share two days, mid and late share two, early and late share none. Where you plant each tree decides whether it crops.
A cross on the grass shows how good a partner the variety you have chosen would have there: green for a full crop, amber for part of one (the tree's own info line says how much, and why), a red dash for none. Four things that pull against each other The blossom. Nine varieties, each with a bloom window.
