Does a single pumpkin plant produce fruit or do you need two plants for cross pollination?

0 1
A pumpkin plant grew from a rotted pumpkin I left out last winter for the squirrels to eat.  I wondered if there needs to be more than one plant for cross pollination to have pumpkins produced.  This plant is large and healthy with many buds and has been flowering but I don't see any baby pumpkins.  If there is no chance of the plant producing pumpkins then I want to dig it out of the middle of my perrennial bed.  Does anyone know about pumpkins?
