These are the five cultivars I found blooming on March 27, 2020. They should be good pollinators for each other.

Pervenec Samarkanda
I received this accession couple of years ago from the USDA Geneva collection. I am interested to see how this cultivar will perform here. Our summers in Vacaville are similar to the hot summers in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. This is a very early ripening cultivar, and can be ready from end of June in Uzbekistan.
Pepin Litovskii
The cultivar has many other names, and thought to have originated in Eastern Europe. This apple ripens in Russia in September, but I suspect it should be earlier here in the CA Central Valley. The fruits can be stored up to four months in fridge. This apple came to me as a cutting from the USDA Geneva collection.
Pepin Shafranyi
Excellent early dessert apple. A favorite in Russia. The cultivar was bred and selected by Michurin in 1907. The cuttings came to me from the USDA Geneva collection.
Brushy Mountain Limbertwig
The perennial favorite at the apple tastings held by the Monterey Bay Chapter of CRFG. I picked the scion at one of the CRFG winter exchanges in NorCal.
Hidden Rose
Also known as Airlie Redflesh. This is a pink fleshed apple originated in Oregon. The cuttings show up at the CRFG exchanges. I obtained mine a few years ago from a fellow CRFG member.
