David · Answer

Yes. Of course.  There are hundreds of varieties to choose from. Cox's, Blenheim, Pitmaston pine, Greensleeves. The trick is to prune every autumn and not let them grow up tall. Mulch around base of trunks. Don't strim around the cambium layer of the tree. Feed with chicken manure pellets. Pruning annually keeping branches short.

Jamie · Answer

Having a very small garden, or even no garden at all does not mean that you won't be able to grow apples. It's possible to grow a crop on a small patio, with dwarf trees planted in pots. All you need is a nice sheltered spot with enough space for a 40cm pot to enjoy your very own fresh, crisp, and juicy apples

Andrei Alexandru · Answer

Most apple and plum varieties will grow perfectly well here, but it helps to pay more attention to the choice of variety than is necessary in southern England.
