          I think on Beechgrove they are planting apples 2ft apart with 1.5ft between rows for cordons. Can't remember the rootstock though.

            Hi phil
            If you give Keepers nurseries a ring and ask for mr Habibi ( early morning ) he will give you all the advice needed.
            They stock just about every fruit tree you could wish for, and take orders now for december delivery.

              I found Andrew the Appletreeman (plantsandapples.co.uk) a very knowledgable and helpful man when choosing apples for a specific spot.

                If you are planting these on a trellis as oblique cordons, I would allow 80cm - 1m with the M9 rootstock, which is probably the best choice for cordons. On M26 they would need to be about 1m.
