Step over pear/apple trees too late to plant? Suppliers?

I'm planning on planting step over pear trees and/or apple trees around the periphery of my veggie patch in the Victorian style (see Sizergh House gardens).
Is it too late to plant fruit trees at this time of year? I'm guessing too late for bare root but potted could be ok? My apple trees have only in the last day or two just started to break out of bud.
And recomendatios on suppliers, the bare root suppliers have stopped until 18/19 but I'm struggling to find many potted ready trained trees.
Pomona still have potted trees but they are Y shaped and require full training.
Any other suppliers anyone can recomend, or garden centres in the Midlands?
Cheers
