Do Custard Aple Trees Have Invasive Roots And Do They Self Pollinate?

Question

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

The tree is self pollinating, but in its natural habitat it is pollinated by a specific beetle, so you may need to hand pollinate the tree. The article below tells how. It also says the roots are stunted and weak. Another source said the canopy can spread 20 feet. However, you can prune it to keep it in bounds.
