I have already posted this on the PPG forum and have a number of leads to follow up on, but does anyone on this list have or know of a nursery that has dwarf Liberty and dwarf Akane apple trees that are at least two years old?
Does anyone have a dwarf apple tree that is compatible with Liberty?
I want a dwarf Liberty for my small yard, and I will need another to cross polinate it (also dwarf), but I am most interested in getting slightly older trees so my grandchildren will not have to wait so long to pick fruit.
Any suggestions will be welcome.
Try Raintree:

The sell dwarf (m27) and semi-dwarf (m26). The have both Liberty and Akane on M27. And a bunch of others too. Mail order or pickup.
Kelly:
The M26 trees are more considered dwarf than semi-dwarf and will bear a few apples next year, and guaranteed a bunch in two years.
A good pollinator for Liberty would be Golden Delicious.
It is difficult to find older fruit trees, and they are usually not very healthy. If they're in pots the roots are twisted and potbound and will never straighten out.
This is a good way to teach your grandchildren patience, which is why we plant apple trees at many of our elementary schools in our district.
