I found them very good for quality and variety, but I've just realised
that was a quarter of a century ago. Gulp!


Similar - 8 trees & 10 bushes bought in 1988. Only one tree struggles - it
still is and will probably come out, I've grafted bits onto another
rootstock elsewhere. But I reckon it's in a damp spot where water collects
in winter, so prob. not Deacon's fault.
