Research into what pollinates what took forever, but in the end went for the following:

- Foxwhelp (cider)
- Tremletts Bitter (cider)
- Bountiful (eaters, but will be fine I cider)
-Golden Hornet Crabapple
- John Downie Crabapple
Also completed my winter pruning of some really old trees last month. So hoping for increased harvests over the next few years. it's great to have finally found a use for the paddock.....
 
Superb. I'm about to order two for my garden. Rather than go for vintage cider varieties I've decided to go for a Katy and a James Grieve.

Yes it's a lot of reading to get your head compatible pollinators and also appropriate root stock for the size of tree...
