I was just reading the other day that cherry trees need another cherry tree to provide cross-pollination and thereby fruit. Not sure if it can be the same type or needs to be another type.

Hi
Some cherry tree produce fruit, others don't. single petal cherry tree produce fruit/seed often, double petal flowers lost ability to
prouce seeds/flower. It is not required to have two tree planted close by.
In USA , there are two dozn or so cherry trees from Japan. we have over 300 variety of cherry tree. USDA prohibit import cherry tree from Japan.
Yoshino cherry tree produce manypea size fruit which bird love.
