It depends on the variety. Many varieties of fruit tree are self-sterile, meaning that they cannot pollinate with themselves. Due to grafting, if you buy two trees of the same variety, they are genetically identical- basically they are the same tree. So, you need a different variety of the same fruit in order for cross pollination to occur.
Some trees are more genetically compatible for cross pollination, which is why in nursery catalogs, different trees are said to be good pollinators. Commercial orchards often plant crab-apple trees in with the apples to ensure good pollination.
