Rare Fruit Varieties
Bob Hobden writes
I'm trying to get hold of some rare old fruit tree varieties of apples,
plums & cherries for a new community orchard in a new Park. We are trying to
get varieties that came from this area and they will have to be on robust
rootstock. Unfortunately whilst Brogdale do have the apple varieties they
don't have the plums and I wondered if any of you know another collection
that may have the old obscure varieties I want.
Have you tried Scotts of Merriott? Their 1992 catalogue had nearly 50
plum varieties (not to mention damsons, gages, myrobalan etc), so unless
they've gone downhill they might be able to help
Which apples are you growing?
