self-pollinating fruit trees

 

Hello,

I plan to put a fruit tree, either an apple tree or a plum tree,  in my
front garden. I only have room for one. so it needs to be self-pollinating.
Does anyone know which are the best self-pollinators, apples or plums ?

Thanks

KK

Can't you buy your neighbours a present of one too if there's one you
like that isn't self-pollinatiing? :-/

What do you prefer eating (And bear in mind plum makes jam too)

Seconded - but unless you have a very large front garden, go to a
specialist to get the tree on the correct rootstock - I have a fan
trained Victoria on a dwarfing rootstock but I still have to work to
keep it in check.  About 25lbs last year and it looks like similar this
year from a 10 year old tree.
