    I am here in coastal British Columbia and am wondering if late-blooming Northern Spy apple will cross-pollinate with mid-season Cox Orange Pippin and Liberty and vice versa. Can anyone help?

    There ought to be enough overlap among the three. Maybe someone in your area is growing Liberty and Spy and can tell you just how many days overlap there is. I think Cox and Liberty would pollenize each other, and one would overlap enough with Spy to pollenize it.
