it can be pollinated by a crabapple as well. maybe someone in your neighborhood will. the pollinator must be within 100 feet of the tree.

If it has to be within 100 ft than I kind of doubt it, unfortunately

Squirrels got all my fruit the past 7 years! I found that moth balls will keep them away this year. Hang some potent moth balls in the tree using old knee high hose. Your back yard smells but you have fruit. I just didn't have enough hose.

The tree I planted is Honey Crisp. Do Honey Crisp apple trees self polinate?

i hate to say it but no its not self pollinating. the best tree to pollinate that one would be "sundance"

Doh, I'll need to plant another tree, it probably won't happen until next spring though.
