Hello
Do you know what your second tree is?
I know you say there are other trees in the area but how far away are
these trees? In the UK fruit trees are pollinated by bees either honey
or Mason bees. Generally the advice for the domestic gardener would be
that is that if compatable trees are within 100m you should be ok. If
you are growing a triplod variety you need 2 pollinators.
Don't go for a family tree, they are a compromise. Buy a maiden, and
train it into a restricted form such as a cordon, even a vertical
cordon. One tree every metre. great value and a good way of getting in
losts of varieties
Good luck
