apples for the small garden
I'm looking for some apple trees, suitable for a small garden, which will
not grow too tall. I've heard that the M9 rootstock isn't very good as it needs protection from competition. I've looked at Coronet apples, but can't find what sort of rootstock they use, even by going on their website, I've seen the same sort and varieties listed as M9 rootstock for about half the price. So am getting a bit confused, anyone able to help? Mike |

They are great and you can get more choice into a small area www.kenmuir.co.uk |

Super article in there about cramming loadsa fruit into a small area. ================================================= Rod Weed my email address to reply. http://website.lineone.net/~rodcraddock/index.html |

We have done well with a Janes Greives variety which, after 3 years, is
laden with fruit but only about 5 feet tall. "Michael Berridge" wrote in message ... I'm looking for some apple trees, suitable for a small garden, which will not grow too tall. |
