I'd be grateful if anyone has a recommended source for an egremont

tree. Height up to 3 or 4 metres, so I guess an MM106 rootstock, but

compromise on that.
Excellent choice, nothing better.
They're nice - but we bought a Sunset. Only 7 apples in its first year,
but they are lovely.
Funnily enough my family tree is MM106-Egremont Russet-Sunset.
The russet is rather vigorous and has to be kept in check so that the
Sunset can grow to full size but both fruit prolifically on clay soil.
