Don't resist ;). They are good. Gala, sunset, winter gem apples. William & conference pears. Ours were £3.99 last from Lidls & are doing really well.

I'll have a look tomorrow. We weren't bothered about root stock as they are going to be an oblique cordon.

Goodlife I can't see a root stock on the trees. Sorry. You could always grow some as a cordon.
