Semi-dwarf
EMLA 106: Well-developed root system, with excellent anchoring. Produces an early fruiting tree with heavy cropping potential, moderate vigor, resistance to woolly apple aphids. Susceptible to collar rot, so cannot tolerate very wet soils. 12-16 ft tall at maturity.

POLLINATION
Most of the offered varieties cross-pollinate each other with the following exception:
*** - Indicates the variety is a triploid. Triploids are considered pollen sterile meaning they cannot pollinate other varieties. Plant a triploid apple with 2 other varieties that can cross-pollinate each other as well as the tripod variety.
I am happy to provide more info on apple pollination or give confirmation of cross-pollination when you order!
