M106 root stocks potted up and access to around 100 local varieties of
scion.

For those that don't know the climate here think Lincolnshire rather
than north or west Yorkshire. 12 miles from the sea.70 ft amsl.


You're not getting many replies! I'm in W Yorks so not of much help.
Have you tried getting in touch with the Northern Fruit Group?


I'd have thought that if you have access to around 100 local varieties
then you would be in the best position to know what does best in your
area and in your soil.


Not really he runs an orchard jointly between the council and the WI,
and will be pruning next month, so there is some scio material , but
most of the apples get nicked and the orchard is very young, also he's
not particularly a gardener, rather a countryside ranger.
