Can anyone recommend a good site for buying apple trees.  I need a good variety of choice of feathered maidens or perhaps part-trained espalier for a decent price.  Ken Muir is just too expensive.  Thanks in advance.

I have bought apples from Buckingham Nurseries, Keepers Nurseries. Marshalls, and also believe it or not Homebase (£10),
There is a link here too:

Hope this helps.

Adams apples www.talatonplants.co.uk. Good prices and my trees have all taken.

Phew good news about Adams apples (www.talatonplants.co.uk). I'm waiting for my trees at the moment they have been very helpful and friendly. I guess though their range might be a bit limited now though since I ordered mine back in September and they had already allocated all of some variaties.

Bodolph, I think mine arrived about this time last year, I remember that I wasn't quite ready -partly because of a major rethink that meant that fruit bushes went in the apple holes- and I heeled them in for a while. They all survived and I'm hoping for my first apples from the cordons this year.

I've been dithering about buying a cider apple -next year now though.

I found Adam Apples good as well. I purchased 5 trees (3 apple and 2 pear) from them about 12 months ago. I went back to them this year for another 5 apple trees and a number of fruit bushes. They all arrived yesterday. Weather permitting I will plant them at the weekend. I have the holes already dug ( and covered with tarpaulin) for the apples trees.
