We have an unknown plum tree in the field at the back, shared with next door. I'd guess its about 4m tall, perhaps more, and I can now identify canker on some of the lower branches. Next door planted it so I'm reluctant to spray or prune it until I speak to them, which I plan to do.
My apple is a Redlove, which I bought from T&M, on a whim. Can't remember the rootstock, though pretty sure its one of the dwarf roots. I'm growing this on the north side of my main veg plot as a bush/half standard (only 2 years old and not too many branches so will see how it grows this year).
I'm glad I've decided not to rush this decision as there are so many variables. (Which fruit (and variety), how many, what shapes).
I agree that a single form will look best (whether thats a row of cordons, one big fan, or maybe a few double cordons, or U-shaped palmettes).
