	You can get apple trees on dwarfing rootstocks down to the size of
bushes. The size you are talking about is very popular now for commercial
growers. Rootstocks vary in their tolerance for heavy and damp soils . Two
Northwest companies sent me catalogs last year; I have not ordered form
them but they present themeselves as reputable and are encyclopedic in the
information. Write or call them:
Raintree Nursery , 391 Butts Road, Morton, WA 98356, (206) 496-6400
Northwoods Retail Nursery, 27635 S. Oglesby Rd., Canby, OR 97013
The Raintree catalog has a coupon for Friends of Fruit based at WSU ($20)
which includes tasting of 100 varieties at the experimental station at
Mt. Vernon. I just joined the California Rare Fruit Growers; they 
exchange scions, have tastings, etc. 
	You picked a good time to plan your trees. Bare root season is in
Janurary- March and is the best time to plant.
