Apple and pear trees

Hello all, I'm sure I've seen adverts for dwarf apple and pear trees (grafted together so one tree bears both fruits). I thought one of these would make a lovely wedding anniversary present so I keep looking for them but my search is fruitless (sorry couldn't resist a bad pun).

Does anyone know where I can buy one from please?

My first instinct is that would be a challenge, because although both are in the Rose family, they’re in different genera and are grafted on to different rootstocks, apple on apple, and pear on quince. Looking carefully at that T&M advert, and reading tge product description, that’s not a single tree, it’s two separate trees. The “duo” means you have a pair of trees, not two different fruits on one tree.

@JustDoItNowForChristSake if put two [ in front of your link, then a space, then a description, then two ] you can avoid displaying that long ugly url, and the description acts as the link eg apple-pear duo (I’ve clicked the dustbin icon so I don’t repost the box at the bottom)
