Does anyone have any experience with minarette apple trees? I don't have
space for trees but I believe you can grow these trees in pots on the patio.
I've also seen some that have two or even three different types of fruit on
the one tree -- are these any good?

Any advice or hints greatly appreciated.

You can but they do MUCH better in the ground than in pots.. We
inherited a couple of minnarettes from a neighbour who mother ahd been
keeping them in pots. Planted them in the ground at the allotment and
they are now looking the picture of health and fruiting heavily.. If
you do keep them in pots they DO need regualar watering and feeding..
They are trees remember!-)
