hi… I have a double grafted plum tree of billington and sultan… do I need to plant a pollinator for it or will it self pollinate each other?… and I only have room for 1 more tree so if I need to plant a pollinator which one should it be to pollinate both?
…and I live in new zealand

It seems like if the grafting nursery knew what they were doing, they would have grafted compatible cross pollinating varieties together on the same tree. Did you ask where you bought it?
When I searched for these varieties, New Zealand immediately came up. LOL
They don't immediately turn up as ideal pollinators for each other but they ARE both Japanese plum varieties so they should be compatible as long as they blossom at the during the same time period?
