Thanks and @mespilus and @Eejit

I think I'm too late for this year for what I want, need to make sure I order in time for next year. An early (Discovery or Beauty of Bath) and a mid-late (Chivers Delight or St Edmunds Pippin/Russet). Kind of want 3 but don't think we have space...

Take a look at the rootstocks on the MM scale, this will give you a good idea of eventual sizes (presuming you prune correctly, most amateurs are scared to prune hard).

Yeah been reading up on rootstocks and flowering times etc. Hoping for two small trees eventually (~3m) and will have to get over my fear of pruning...
