Minarette apple trees

Has anyone grown these ?  If so a) what types b) in the soil or pots c) what yield did you get ? d) how quickly e) what rootstock are they

I have 12 on my allotment, cordon style, put in this season - and got some crop - esp apples - on a silty soil - got
                 
                     cherries/apples (cooking and otherwise)/damsons/plums.

growing well - and have increased in size and seem very happy - looking forward to next year when the first proper crop comes!!

They come with a very good instruction manual - bare rooted - you have about 2 weeks to get them in - or temporarily pot them -

Good for allotments - dont take much space - or create much shade/grow too tall to annoy neighbours

yes ken muir - not pruned yet - first season - but it looks to be easy, will prune in December time - the guide/instructions are very clear on how to maintain the column shape.

I did not consider pots - but there is some details in the guide - I think it is prob feasable

its alright ask away

I dont know anyone else with them - I was the first on the lottys to put some fruit trees in.
I bought 6 first in October last year - then was so impressed bought another 6 (when I say I, the OH picked the varietys)

Out of the 12 only worried about one - whihc had a short root stock (m9), so was nearly in ground when planted (it may then sprout itself) - otherwise they were good stock

I am sure others on the forums have had expereince with them - but mine has been very good.
