Jonagold (Malus domestica) is in flowering group 4. Jonagold is a triploid variety which will not pollinate other apple varieties. You will either need two pollination partners nearby which must each be different varieties and able to cross-pollinate each other as well as the Jonagold, or a single self-fertile compatible pollination partner.
