Whilst not wishing to cast ALL suppliers in a dim light I would welcome
recommendation s for suppliers who supply genuine varieties.

Thought I would have a go at some of the raspberries and strawberries
that have been recommended on here lately but suspicious of non
specialist sellers.

I have used Ashridge trees in the past: http://www.ashridgetrees.co.uk/
in fact I have an order due delivery in November. I have always found
them helpful and their product excellent.


Trouble with them is they use Colt rootstock for their cherries which
gives a bigger tree than Gisela 5 which is what I want my two new cherries
on. No ladders needed ever.

Looks like I will have to buy one from Blackmoor Nursery, Liss, Hampshire
and one from Pomona in order to get exactly what I want.
