Can anyone suggest a reliable supplier of drawf/pygmy/patio fruit trees

due to the trees already there [and also due to me being a short a**e who
can't reach fruit on normal trees] a full size tree would either have to go
on a neighbour's plot or out on the track, due to the spacing required.
TIA

Good range of plants, good quality, well packed, they let you know
when to expect delivery, theyr'e fruit nuts and good to deal with.

You don't get such a huge choice of rootstocks in the plum or families
asyou do with apples.
As Cliff says grow in a restricted form, which with apricots & plums
is usually fan trained.
Save some money and learn something by starting with maidens (1st year
plants) and forming your own fans.
