Bramleys are a triploid, you will need two different apple trees to
pollinate it.
Just being a bit pedantic.
Pollen from another ONE (non-triploid) variety (A) will pollinate the
Bramley. BUT, the Bramley pollen will not pollinate (A), hence there is
need of another, non-triploid, variety to pollinate (A).
There are other triploids varieties too. So if you have N triploid apples,
you will need an extra 2 non-triploid varieties to ensure that all trees
are pollinated.
