Default Scotts Nurseries

I was very sad to read in the Garden that Scotts Nurseries has closed down. All my apple trees came from there - they had an unsurpassed list of varieties including cider apples and old hard-to find varieties.

That's another good traditional general nursery gone - what a shame.

Thanks, yes they're not bad. They've got 5 of my 8 which is quite good going.

And Brogdale will always graft any variety they have onto the stock of your
