Hi Mike,
Court-Pendu Plat is listed in the Fruit Berry & Nut Inventory as being 
available at
the following locations:
Tom Burford's, Richard Fahey's, Classical Fruits, Greenmantle Nursery, the 
Living
Tree Centre, Southmeadow Fruit Gardens and Sonoma Antique Apple Nursery. 
There are
also other's not listed in this work that have this apple but that 
information is
at home in my other computer. Let me know which, if any, addresses you want 
if they
don't come up in a search. Good luck.............vic
