Family apples (was Herb usage?)

On the subject of fruit, does anyone know where we can obtain a family apple tree (stock with different varieties grafted on it - well two months ago I didn't know what it was!) with bramleys and granny smiths on it? My partner had one in his old house and we'd like to buy one for the new place, but internet searches and visits to garden centres have so far proved fruitless... so to speak. Thanks in advance for any advice. Brogdale Plant Centre certainly had family trees last year - Bramley, and two nice eaters, Falstaff and Fiesta I think. Bramley is a bit tricky for family trees, as it's so vigorous - Brogdale's suppliers graft it a year after the others, togive them a chance. www.brogdale.org.uk - and it looks like Keepers have some too, go to http://www.keepers-nursery.co.uk/stock.asp and select Tree Form to be Family Tree. |

Nurseries. They had a selection of family apple and pear trees. Sarah |
