Why does he want a large specimen?

Because he's 80, he opens his 6 acres to the public about twenty times a
year and all his other fruit specimen trees including a medlar and a
walnut are mature. He wants one in a 50 litre pot size.

He's probably still got time to wait for a younger one to mature. The late Collingwood ('Cherry') Ingram was still planting cherries
in his 90s and grumbling that they only lived about 50 years.
