    Hi

    Thanks for that, I was considering getting rid of them in a lot for €50, would that be fair?

    yeah it's very fair and possibly a great deal for someone, if you know exactly what they were/their history you could charge more, some of the apples could be planted from pips or could be crab apples not really productive.
    It's a pity you are getting rid of them, I'd love a big enough garden to have some fruit trees, they are tough going though lots of spraying etc.

    I only got them last year as part of a deal and wanted to keep just one or two once I could identify them.

    If anyone here so far is interested let me know, otherwise I'll put an ad up on Adverts.ie

    They can be taken this weekend.

    You can't grow apple trees from a pip. They are normally grafted onto a root stock of a separate plant...

    Cheers again everyone, put an ad up in adverts

    1 and 5 prunus/cherry
    2, 10, 11 birch, probably different varieties
    7 hawthorn
    13 and 14 probably apple
    4 is annoying me, is it an acer, it looks a bit familiar.

    ok, so you've lost interest at this stage op, but its a challenge... Wish i had room for them.
