I will be out and about this week collecting scion material in north fife and the carse of gowrie
there is about 30 odd "known" scots varieties, but i will also be collecting scions from the trees in the carse which were tagged in 2 surveys in the last 10 years, about 400 of them(i have my work cut out)
these include lindores (june), as seen on the beach grove garden, black auchan (dec) very late fruit (probably norwiegen in origin) cussie madam and longville, both extinct in france, both excellent fruits,
i have also ordered 300 pyrus communis and 100 quince rootstock
why not consider grafting 3 or 4 different scions onto your aldi trees?
if anyone would like any scion material, free to a good home
or indeed any rootstock (cost price £1.......?? how does this compare to aldis?)
pm me
