Don't think my trees are going to fruit for a few years yet - I did them on a grafting course last year so they're only a year old.
After looking at your list I don't think they should be too prone to maggots
Pitmaston pineapple - small fruited, russetted and fairly late ripening
and two old yorkshire varieties
New Bess Pool red fruit but quite late ripening
Green Balsam green/flushed fruit, late ripening - can't find out much about this one, seen it described as a cooker and a dessert. I think I may have picked it because because it got described as similar to a granny smith for northern areas
I just picked those because they had good descriptions - I never thought about pollination but the gardens over the back have quite a few apple trees so I'm hoping I should be ok.
