Crabapple cross pollination

I have a beautiful little crabapple (Malus sargentii) and was told on this forum that it needs another Malus around to be pollinated by, to set fruit. Well, I ordered another crabapple from Brent, which is really nice (thank you, Brent! Love the trunk!) but it isn't flowering yet, and my little one is already in flower. They are both sargentii's. Next year, if they have both been in the same environment, will they flower at the same time and so be able to help each other set fruit?

Our weather here is much warmer than up north, where the new one came from.
