I don't have any prior knowledge/experience with fruit trees but read it was better to have a few different varieties.

Saw an 'out of town' episode with Jack hargreaves where he grafted three different types of apple onto a tree so it produced 4 different types of apple that were ready to harvest at different points in the season, some early, some mid, some late, all from one tree. I thought that was genius, something I might try in the future.

You need more than one variety for it to produce fruit .

If you Google what you've got it should tell you good pollination partners and when they fruit
