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.

I hate to gum this up, but some flowering crabapples never set fruit. What variety do you have?

Regards,

Matt
