multiple variety apple tree

[mark]

Hi,

You know how it is..................tv is on, dinner is cooking, kids are screaming.............
I remember 'half -seeing' something on tv about
multiple grafted [3] apple trees which included a Bramley.

I cannot remember which programme, so I've Googled but cannot find anything.
Does anyone here know who may sell these trees ?

I've wanted to grow bramleys but I understand that you need at least 2 other apples trees near by to pollonate it,as I only have limited space a grafted one would be ideal.

thanks in advance

I think there was one on QVC yesterday, one of the varieties was a bramley.

Think that Ken Muir do them also, check out their web site - have had other stuff off them before and they've a pretty good service. Not tried the family trees though, would be interested to know if they're any good as was vaguely thinking of getting a plum one for the same reasons listed above ie lack of space and assistance with pollination etc.

I definitely saw these in one of the major suppliers catalogues earlier in the year. I can't be sure but I think it was Thompson and Morgan?
Let us know what you find. I'd be interested to know what's out there too.
