I have just ordered some perry trees from www.welshmountaincider.co.uk.
They have an amazing range of apples. pears, cider and perry trees.
Also sent me a copy of his book "How to grow apples and make cider and perry"
One thing I learned already today from it:
"Dont be alarmed by a whitish bloom floating on top of your cider - this is pectinated yeast"
I think the prices are pretty good £10 per tree (1 year maidens) and delivery for 8 trees was £27
They have a humungous range and 'coz they are grown at a 1000 feet in mid-wales are going to be dead hardy.
If any one is going to buy some trees have a look here!
