Default Rare Fruit Varieties

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.


Found some interesting information on fruit varieties listed per County
on...

you then go to o-(the county you want)-f.html.
Hope that is clear. :-)
