There is a firm called AppleSource--I don't know if they are on the web
yet. They sell a wide variety of apples, including, I am fairly sure, some
of the period ones, by mail.

Alternatively you can get trees from quite a lot of nurseries--you will
find an article on that subject in the _Miscellany_. My problem is that I
keep moving, and leaving my trees behind. Hopefully, since things grow fast
here, I will at least get to enjoy the greengage plum I planted when we
moved.

But this listserve is quite strikingly out of persona, so we aren't being
period on the listserve, we are talking about period things, so the fact
that telling people things are not period isn't period is irrelevant here.
It would be relevant at events if people were making a reasonable attempt
to be medieval people instead of attendees at a costume party, but that is
only occasionally the case, unfortunately.
