Patio Apples pollination question

Hampshire, United Kingdom

I have just brought a duo patio apple - Queen Cox on one side and Greensleeves on the other. Are they ok to pollinate each other (both come out Sept time) or do I need another? And has anyone had any problems that I should be aware of? Thanks


On plant Malus

My fruit book is fairly old and doesn't mention Queen Cox so I guess it's a newer variety. But if it was bred from Cox's Ornage Pippin then it is compatible with Greensleeves. If they both flower at the same time, you're OK
