I'm certainly no expert here Darren. What I would do is google the word Brogdale. This will give you the site for the national fruit collection in Kent. Email them and see what they say.

Yes Biglongdarren, Yes you can. It's a bit late but go for it. Please save as many as possible. Graft three shoots per rootstock. RHS website www.rhs.org.uk will give information on how to do it. The more that you try the more chances you will have to get at least one. Sell any spares for your favourite charity.
Good luck and happy gardening.
