Whilst not wishing to cast ALL suppliers in a dim light I would welcome
recommendation s for suppliers who supply genuine varieties.

Thought I would have a go at some of the raspberries and strawberries
that have been recommended on here lately but suspicious of non
specialist sellers. :)

For a previous house/garden I used  Scotts of Merriot, however, like
most really good suppliers I'm not sure if they have been undercut and
destroyed by rubbish suppliers. Rhododendron, Varieties Red, Pink and
White springs to mind.
There's always Hilliers of course, are they still going? Rivers nursery
maybe?
Good Luck

I have used Ashridge trees in the past: http://www.ashridgetrees.co.uk/
in fact I have an order due delivery in November. I have always found
them helpful and their product excellent.

Trouble with them is they use Colt rootstock for their cherries which gives
a bigger tree than Gisela 5 which is what I want my two new cherries on. No
ladders needed ever.
