@Irisfreundin @foxbasealpha that’s fantastic!!! It must look extraordinary???
@JimmyB @Irisfreundin @foxbasealpha I think multi variety trees are great in small gardens, I had a three variety bush pear, that gave me early, mid season and late pears. But not sure it would work in Espalier mode.
Suggest dwarfing root stock and plant maidens, one year old will get away quickly and you put the layers where you want them.
As others have said suggest you go for cross pollinating varieties, and find a grower who does their own grafting and has the stock to suit your area.
@foxbasealpha @epistatacadam @Irisfreundin I have to ship everything in - we have no growers on the island (#Jersey) any more as far as I know. Makes it a bit tricky.
@JimmyB @foxbasealpha @Irisfreundin ah a warmer( ? Drier ) climate than mine (South Wales)! Some French growers are probably your best bet, Brittany has lots of fruit growing as does Normandy, though not sure if they cater for the amateur grower rather than the commercial ones. But might be worth asking, many of the great varieties grown in SE GB started as French or Belgian varieties.
@epistatacadam @foxbasealpha @Irisfreundin yeah - it’s a good shout. We get over there regularly and there is a massive nursery with a lot of trees outside St Malo. That is a fair suggestion - I’ll see if I can get over.
