That should take care of the pollination. You could plant a damson,
bullace, plum or other greengage if you like - they are all the same
species, and MOST will pollinate each other.

The size depends a lot on the pruning, and perhaps variety. They
aren't big trees like Bramleys, and most can be pruned into 6'x6'x8'.
But I am no expert.
