Jovian fly for Flyday

The apple variety is Jupiter - a triploid variety - so doesnt produce pollen that can fertilize another variety but needs another (diploid) tree to provide pollen to produce Jupiter apples.

 

...So all take with no give.

 

Good tasting apple - hard, sharp and cox type taste.

 

Standing under the trees, I think it seems considerably less popular with my honey bees that the other varieties near it. Produces plenty of apples though so something must visit to sort out the pollination. Cant imagine this little fly is important to the process but who knows?
