Orange Surprize

General Fruit Growing

This winter came with snow. Lots of it. It brought joy to the kids and during one of these joyfull moments distaster struck. The combination of a 7 year old kid and a sleigh struck and broke one of my apple trees.

I have searched and searched, but it seems impossible to buy this variabnt outside the UK. And as all of us continental europeans know, buying plants from the UK to the european union is quite impossible since brexit.

So i ask here. Does anyone know anywhere this varient is available in the EU? It is simply impossible for me to locate it

This here is the variant i speak of

The top part broken off i would gather scions from. I would graft the scions from the tree to the base of the same tree. I would keep hundreds of backup scions from the original tree in the refrigerator. The odds of you finding that tree are highly unlikely given the current uk and world situation. It is done just like this pear was

Here are more examples
