Reduced price Aldi Ornamental Trees
I imagine this will be universal as they have had these trees instore for a few weeks.
Anyway, if anyone is up for a challenge they were reduced to 99p in our local Aldi, originally £3.99.
They were reduced to £2.49 for the past week, when I bought a Flowering Almond and a Common Birch.
Today I picked up 4 more all at 99p each, Flowering Apple, Flowering Plum, Crab Apple and a 'Lucky Dip Tree', haven't got a clue what that was as there was no label on it but it is about 6' tall!
I don't want them to grow very big so I am going to get some large pots for them.
So, worth keeping your eyes open the next time you pop into Aldi.

They have some of them in the local park. Very, very early flowering. In a good year you will get little dark (red/purple) plums that taste like a cross between damsons and plums.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -

Well that isn't going to get too big very soon as they say height 8 - 12 m in 20 to 50 years!
