I've looking for a few bullaces ane one or two morello cherries.... If they go in before autumn I'll be wanting pot-grown though I might have to look at the financial situation and put bare-roots in at the end of the year. Anyone have any recommendations for where to get them?... I'd prefer Langley variety bullaces and a Morello or two on Colt or Giselle5 dwarfing rootstocks.. the Morello's will end up as fan-trained lowish espaliers, the bullaces an espalier hedge....

Reads Nursery have been a favourite of mine for a long time - I'm near enough to go there and its a truly wonderful place. They are very knowledgeable and helpful and seem to stock what you're looking for. Good luck with your search - would love a hedge with bullaces.....envy....

Superb range.
MAny thanks folks, I'll give them the once over.... Bullaces are rather rare I'll admit but we've got a couple growing wild outside the back of our office and they're way easier than blackthorn if you want sloes :-)
Plus neighbour won't have to cope with natures equivalent of barbed wire :D

Have had good trees from RVRogers before, and a lovely Ponds Seedling from Reads this winter - recommend both for service and quality ;D
