Myra Red Fuji Apple Tree
Description
A much-improved Fuji. Brilliant color, more purely red and somewhat larger than the original Fuji. Very attractive dark red striping over a lighter red ground color. Sweet and crisp, just like Fuji, but does better further north. Excellent storage qualities; tastes just-picked as late as March! Use as you would any Fuji, for fresh eating, baking or canning. Ripens in mid-October.

Yes, your higher elevation (1,950–2,000 ft) can impact the growth and fruiting of a Fuji apple tree in several ways:
Cooler Temperatures – Higher elevations tend to have cooler temperatures, which can extend dormancy and delay bloom time. This can be beneficial in preventing late frost damage but may also shorten the growing season, which Fuji needs for proper ripening.
Chill Hours – Fuji apples require between 300 and 600 chill hours (depending on the variety). Your elevation may increase your chill hours, which is good for fruit set, but if temperatures drop too much in late spring, blossoms could be at risk of frost damage.
Wind Exposure – Mountainous areas often experience stronger winds, which can stress young trees and cause fruit drop. Consider planting in a protected location or using windbreaks.
Soil Drainage – Mountainous soils tend to be well-draining, which is great for apple trees, but make sure the soil retains enough moisture during dry periods.
Growing Season Length – Fuji apples have a long growing season (about 160–180 days) to fully ripen. At higher elevations, cooler summers might slow fruit ripening, so consider a warmer microclimate (such as a south-facing slope) to help.
Golden delicious is self pollinating and does not require another tree to bear fruit. The Golden will pollinate the Fuji.
It would depend on which variety of Fuji you are wanting as the winesap has an early to Mid season bloom time. As long as you find variaties with the same bloom time they will pollinate one another.
Yes - they should overlap in bloom time to pollinate each other.
Yes they are both Mid season bloomers.
Short answer is: No you do not need to specify at time of ordering. You can espalier practically any fruit tree, including this tree. The dwarf size is the easiest to espalier.

The Mutsiu will be a good pollinator as it is a Mid season bloomer as well.
For proper pollination you'll want to pair up apple trees that are in bloom at the same time. The Myra Red Fuji Apple is a mid season bloomer. The Honeycrisp and Starkrimson® Red Delicious Apple are mid season bloomers too.
Hello Philip, Yes, this variety will cross pollinate with the Golden Delicious Apple.
