Not as fashionable as fruit at the moment, but they also had a tremendous collection of old roses at Scotts. Grandad grew those too, but they didn't survive as long as the apple trees, I killed the last of them off in the 90s through ignorant pruning. |

Yes I have spoken to this guy, he's working in loose association with Common Ground. He has an interesting business model, it is sort of an online charity shop. |

I was at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show yesterday and bought some fruit trees from Mr D'Arcy's Heritage fruit Trees They are really good quality strong trees and the owner is a really lovely, helpful man. We got a Meeches Prolific quince for 29.99, an Old English Greengage on a pixy rootstock for 24.95 and a Scotch Dumpling apple for £24.95. All were 3 year old half standards in 12L containers and the apple was absolutely covered in blossom.
He had a lot more varieties at the show than he has on the website and apparently he only posts out the 1 year old maidens but I''m sure his nursery would be amazing. |

http://www.blackmoor.co.uk/ - blackmoor fruit nursery
Just bought a tree, grape vine and a few bushes (one was potted)
Very good service, everything extensively well packaged.
Giant tree box for my bareroot bramley 20 M26 is a fantastic cat toy - much fun is being had dashing in and out and attacking each other through it. |
