However, I wouldn't want the job of pruning it considering the differences in vigour on just a 3-apple 'family' tree. Now I come to think of it, I wouldn't want to mow that lawn with all those supports in the way! Great to see it, though. Thanks, Sacha. -- Spider.

When I was a youngster living in Hastings (well just outside) our Dr was doing just that with the help of the local Parks superintendent, they had around 60 varieties grafted onto the one tree. Unfortunately he and his family were lost when they were flying to their holiday home in Spain and their plane disappeared somewhere over the channel.

David @, a dry but overcast side of Swansea Bay Sad story, David but still one that's fascinating with regard to the apple tree.
