Default fruit trees

I am looking for 2 or three each of apple, pear and one other (plum?) fruit
tree but would like them to act as a bit of a screen toward the end of the
garden.
Consequently I seek large , quick growing, trees rather than the dwarfing
varieties offered by the garden centres.

What should I look/ ask for and where should I look/ask for them?

Thanks in anticipation

Default fruit trees

Hi,
I needed some apple trees last year which I bought from theses people,

I was very pleased with the advice that they gave and the trees that they
supplied.

Regards
James

The dwarfing varieties still grow large, depends which rootstock they
are grown on. My grafted plums are 15 -16 feet high now and have to be
pruned back each year, they also grew quite quickly. Go to a garden
centre and ask them, tell them what you want.
