£3.99 each. Got two Stella cherries, a granny smiths apple and bramley apple this morning.
Lord alone knows where I'm going to plant them !
These haven't been advertised on-line, but people have been talking about them, so I popped down to my local store this morning. They right by the front door.
;D

Oh Rita! You just thanked me for the expanation! It's not 'how big do 'Brambleys' grow. It's what rootstock is that Brambley grafted to. That is what will determine it's size.

Yes Sleepy I know  - but I wanted to know how big mrskp's Bramley will get - it surely says the ultimate size on the label. Perhaps I should have asked mrskp what is the rootstock? |

rootstock, bootstock, ............................. how am i to know ...... ah yes, read the label ...... hang on ..................
erm ......."Is dependant on pruning and training. 6'-8' ".
I guess if i didn't do either, it could be a giant. No mention of rootstock on the label. lol.
Cherries - Can grow to over 10' (that's handy ! lol)
Granny Smith's - Same as the Bramley's.
Now I've read the labels and seen the cherries are self-pollinating, I might take one back and change it for something else, they have plums too I understand.
They're currently standing at about 4.5' tall and look pretty healthy. They're a bargain until I figure out I'm going to have to spend a fortune on extras like stakes and thingies lol.
Oh and if you're interested they come with a EC Plant Passport.
;D

By the time a got there on Thursday they only had a Stella left , good shape too, but no room for another cherry, lovely fruit this year off ours though, if only there had been a pear, we do need another of those.

I got a grannsy smith (the kids love em) and a cox's (I love em) and got them in the following day  They look good trees and I am assuming they are on dwarf rootstock doe to the advised heights. They seem to have bred on our site ;D and we aren't supposed to have non-annuals  |
