Actually, last I knew, they were being grown in a
bubble of sorts.  It's been a few years, but when I
worked at Cornell I helped set up giant fine-mesh
tents over the GM apples to prevent insect movement of
pollen.  The tents stayed up all through the flowering
period.

I wasn't actually involved with this particular
project...I was just an extra set of hands to help
with some really big tents.
