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.

If you still have yours I would think that digging it out with a jcb
and trundling it over to him after leaf fall would not cost a lot more
than one in a 50 litre pot, which apparently you can't get anyway.

There are some people who advertise sometimes in the Garden ( but not
the current issue) that they specialise in full-size trees in pots.
