That's a hell of a collection your putting together,presumably you're using a dwarf rootstock or you must own a huge spread! I've got none of those varieties (sorry) but have you spoken to anyone at Pershore? OJ.

I can let you have some Irish Peach cuttings, but it will be a while yet as it's still in full leaf.

How do you find Irish Peach ?? As I had one many years ago, but it was very very droopy.

Mine is fairly upright and well behaved.
The apples are not that tasty until they have been stored for a week or two, then they have a wonderful taste. We only discovered that this year because there was a heavy crop and couldn't eat them fast enough.But that's probably due to my climate rather than the variety.

I thought you were talking about a peach tree until I read that last post, then scrolled up and looked at the list of apple varieties.

I have 'French peach' but they are peach trees!

Glad I am not the only one that did that! I was thinking... I have a couple of portuguese peach trees!! Teach me to read properly instead of scanning!!

Similarly - I managed to get hold of a "Red Victoria" scion. Not having heard of it before, and grafted it onto a Plum rootstock.

Needless to say it did not take.

It was only 6 months later I found out it was a Red Cooking Apple and not a plum.

Oh I did laugh

What a shame, that could have made an interesting fruit!
