Can anyone recommend pollinators for a 'Jupiter' Triploid apple tree,
please?

Mine had plenty of blossom but only two fruits last year and none this
year. There are crabs not far away by the railway line (Ca 400yds) and
a Howgate Wonder and a Worcester Pearmain also close by (Within
throwing distance). The other nearest trees are young Falstaff and
Elstar, both in their first year of fruiting, about 250yds away.

Jupiter is in pollination Group D

Here's a link to the webpage of a Fruit nursery offering a large
number of dessert apple varieties. This page is just varieties
with names starting A-D. (not groups A-D) When you select a variety
it will show you its pollination group and the varietie's
characteristics.

You don't need to buy from them of course, but it will provide a
list of possibilities.

Varieties in each pollination group all flower at around the same
time. How close you need to match the groups would depend on how
long the flowers on each tree remain viable - maybe the tree flowers
over a period of a week say - and how long a period is covered by each
group. But obviously the closer the match, the better.

Knowing my luck - and yours of course - in about ten minutes time
another poster will come along, with knowlege of a definite match.
