Would anyone like to choose me a tree?

Having tasted the fruits last year, I'd go for a mulberry. You can train them as espaliers.

I didn't realise that was possible. I'm suddenly tempted to give it a try...

Tart, juicy, sweetish - incredibly moreish. I ate as many as I could reach. They stain unbelievably easily and don't travel well at all.

Espalier idea came from reading Ken Muir's site http://www.kenmuir.co.uk/image/data/...20Mulberry.pdf and it's mentioned on the RHS site too https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=642. As soon as I have a garden I am doing this.

Don't you just hate it when you spend time writing a message and your PC eats it before it gets submitted?

...give me 5 mins to re-type...
