Like most apple trees, Honeycrisp apple trees require a pollinator to be fruitful. That means there needs to be another apple tree of a different variety — ideally growing within 50 feet of the Honeycrisp tree — for adequate cross-pollination. Honeycrisp apple trees are not self-pollinating, so they won't produce fruit by themselves. They also won't be pollinated by another Honeycrisp apple tree. If another compatible variety is present and blooms at the same time, then a Honeycrisp apple tree will be able to set fruit, starting as early as its second year after planting! Here are our apple varieties that we recommend to pollinate a Honeycrisp apple tree.
Costco sells fruit trees for $20 and less.
They even have the fruit-cocktail trees, 5 apple varieties grafted on a single tree.
Same with pears.

Yes, they do need a pollinator. I planted my 2 favorite varieties close to each other, honeycrisp and Fuji.

How long does it take to get fruit from these guys?
Usually apple trees need to be about 2-3 years old and then you'll start to get some. I have a red delicious tree and at age 3 it had three apples for the season. Last year it had 5. This year I don't know yet, but it's almost double the size it was last year. Guessing you probably have a year or two before these get anything, but it really depends on the tree, where you plant it, and what you plant with it.

Do honeycrisp apple trees need to like have some other tree to cross pollinate with? Or can I just have it by itself?
Yes, but it doesn't necessarily need to be another apple tree. My apple is planted next to a persimmon and a peach tree and I have other fruit trees like pear and fig.

Why are they always dwarf trees? I'd like to get some regular-sized fruit trees for my yard so they can provide both fruit AND shade. Dwarf trees are just too dang tiny.
