    Hi there,
    I am searching for knowledge on the blossom times of two particular apples trees:

    Cox Orange Pippin & Prima.

    If anyone knows the specifics on these two trees, thats great. If not, does anyone know of a good website or resource I can use to look it up?

    Does anyone have any experience of which other apples tree might blossom at the same time as Cox O. P. ?

    Many Thx

    MXB

    Both Cox's Orange Pippin and Prima are in flowering group "C" (Early Mid Season), so they should be good for pollination. Any other apple in flowering groups "B", "C", or "D" should provide adequate pollination. Were there some other apple trees that you were interested in? A good resource for information on apples is the "Directory of Apply Cultivars" by Martin Crawford.
