There is no need to isolate, unless you intend to save seed. If you are
saving seed you might want to bag a few flowers on each plant just before
they open, using a cloth bag if possible. That will prevent
cross-pollination so the seed dhould be pure. But even if cross-pollination
occurs (mostly won't) on the other flowers/fruit, the fruit won't express
characteristics of the other variety. That will come in the next generation.
