The message
from Paul contains these words:

Hi

I am starting a garden in a new build house, the main part of the
garden measures approx 11M deep X 17M long. This garden is in a
windy
seaside location,
Any suggestions as to what types of apple tree would be suitable
for
my garden,

I live in a windy seaside location. Apples don't like very windy
locations afaik, and I don't think they tolerate salt well. Although
a
few people round about have stunted apple trees, I don't see any
fruit. I strongly recommend you consider the many lovely plants
whose
roots stems and leaves are adapted to the windy, salty conditions
found
at the seaside. Take a walk round the neighbourhood and see what
does
well in other gardens, join a local gardening group, ask the library
if
they stock books on seaside gardening.

Janet.

Yes, that's more like the advice I would have given.
