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.


I've already posted that info twice - does that mean my posts aren't
making it through to urg?


This is the first post from you I can see in this thread. I did a
quick check yesterday and identified about 15 posts (including two
complete threads) to GB which I hadn't seen on Usenet.

Cheers, Jake
