Where did you find this from Lavenderlux? Just took a look on there website and it doesn't go that far. Thought there might have been some info on varieties etc?JB

[lavenderlux]

Information was from the leaflet picked up in their store in Ipswich today - doesn't give varieties but in the past there has been a good selection of varieties in the fruit tree range and ones we've had for our allotment community orchard include Apple Cox's orange pippen, Bramley, and Pears Comice and Conference and Cherry Morello - and others but can't remember the varieties.  Possibly their UK website hasn't been updated yet with next weeks special buys.

Thanks from me too.  I have been hoping for them to stock fruit trees again.   My place on the allotment is ready.   The Bramley I bought 5 years ago has done well.  Thanks again.

Tomatoada,

How tall has your Bramley grown in the 5 years?

Has it produced much fruit?

. . . am thinking of getting some fruit trees for my garden

Thanks!

Couldn't find the veg plants or seeds in my one (the other stuff was there), but they did have some more of the fruit plants from last week and joy of joys there was a blackcurrant in there... just the one pack with them though.... I guess i can put up with a raspberry and another gooseberry.....
