Old fashioned fruit trees

Does anybody know where I can buy old fashioned fruit trees that will grow to the size I remember when I was young. Our cherry trees must have been at least 30foot tall and were an amazing site in the spring. All I can find are the dwarf or semi-vigorous varieties

Hallo Jean, just googled and found the following:

For more, just google Heritage Fruit Trees.
Hope this helps a bit and good luck.
We have two tall Apple trees. Catshead and Ashmeads Kernel, purely and simply because we wanted tall blossoming, fruitful trees. They look great, but picking the top most fruit is a bit of a problem.
Have a look at www.rogersof pickering they sell fruit of all sizes and may be of help.
