no, we haven't, we are awaiting a visit of the "Apple Tree Man" who is coming to Elcho Castle this weekend. We want a bit of a consultation. We would really like to get some varieties that are traditional to this area. At the moment I'm leaning toward Bloody Ploughman and Russet. Not sure where we're going to buy them, either.

We have got room for five, maybe six, and they are replacing a line of ornamental junipers that used to march up the front lawn, so they are going to have to be pretty in addition to being functional.
