What factors most contribute to an apple tree being judged a good pollenizer? I've seen that description given to several crabs, even though their bloom season is over before a high percentage of other apples has started. I've seen the description coupled with "self pollenizer" occasionally, but only occasionally. If the tree has a huge number of blossoms is that a good thing because it is a powerful bee attractant or a bad thing because it may out-compete other trees with fewer blossoms?
