Last year someone mentioned a place on the net where you could buy blackcurrant bushes rather cheaply, but in bulk, anyone have any clues where it was??

do you know whether the aldi ones are any good? just written a thread about this.

Mixed reports when i looked, Some people complained they were too big after a year or two and others
complained they never grew.

But they are a fraction of the price of so called offers others have posted on here. I like a bargain so i bought
some last year and planted just before the winter set it.

Planted and covered the root area with newspaper and a good 6 -8" of clippings and chippings to try and keep
any frost away.

Only time will tell. Are you better spending ££ per tree instead of £???

I wish ours had raspberries. I managed to get a red currant bush bare root for a pound in our local poundland. Will have to see if they sell things online...

I bought a couple of Lidl trees a few years back - a flowering cherry & an apple tree and they've been great.
I've just bought a Poundstretcher cherry tree and it's a lovely, sturdy looking plant. I also got a purple-ish gooseberry & a tayberry to join all the other currants & berries I got from Poundland - they're getting mixed into a new hedge I'm planting. I really need a bigger garden...
