Fruit trees B&M

Options
£3.99 a pop. I just got a "sour cherry". They had apples, plums, and fruit bushes too - not named varieties/rootstocks but good for the price :)

    Haha, it was about 3 foot tall, packaging claims it will get to 3m, but I'll be training it

    5 from aldi tonight at £3.99 each. 5-6ft tall. they are all dormant but look fine.

    1 conference pear
    1 victoria plum
    1 apple (cox I think)
    1 gage (cant remember the variety)
    1 apricot (cant remember the variety)

    Very happy with purchase. They will be going to allotment later this week.

    I think any fruit tree under £10 is a bargain. So these at £3.99 are amazing.

    I noticed there were several different varieties of apple there inc bramley and gala (plenty left). there was 1 variety of gage (plenty left) I picked up the last victoria in the box. there were plenty of pear left. I got the last apricot I think as well. There was also a red haven peach (plenty left) I already have a red haven peach and it did alright last year. (see my blog entry here ) I got 4 peaches from it and it is planted in a bucket. They also had some long cane raspberries in there that looked like trees but there you go. I went shopping at the Leeds ALDI store, West Yorks.
