I'm thinking of buying 12 cordoned pear trees to act as a fruiting border
to
our vegetable garden. These are fairly mature, in a double U shape and
1.3m
high and are retailing at (gasp) £79.95 each. It would be a major expense
so
I was wondering if there are any cheaper ones available.
I know I could get the trees and do it myself for less than a quarter of
the
price, but if it would take 15 years before they are looking good, I very
much doubt I'll be able to stagger down the garden by then to appreciate
them
Anyone know of a cheaper source for these or could give me some good news
about how long it'd take to 'cordon' my own from scratch?
