Will a golden dorsett apple pollinate gala apple?

No, a Golden Dorsett apple will not pollinate a Gala apple. Golden Dorsett is a triploid apple, meaning it has three sets of chromosomes rather than the usual two. This means that it produces non-viable pollen, which is unable to fertilize the ovules of other apple trees. In order to ensure successful pollination of a Gala apple, you will need to plant a different apple variety that is compatible with Gala as a pollenizer, such as a Fuji, Granny Smith, or Honeycrisp.
