Good Place to Order Plants / Shrubs and Trees

Hi all, Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place. I wasn't sure if it should go in the shopping section or this gardening section.

I ordered a set of five mini fruit trees and some giant dahlias from here at a really good price and with free delivery.

I ordered some plants last year from here and I was really impressed with the quality.

    Anyone else got any Fruit Tree recommendations? Specifically, has anyone tried the Mail Garden Shop or Wilkinson's Fruit trees?

    I used Orange Pippin. More expensive but the trees I've been sent are beautiful and the two year olds heavily cropped in the first year!

    I will take a look at them - thanks. I have to retrain myself and not buy every tree I ever wanted otherwise I'll have no garden left for vegetables.

    Still shopping around for Fruit Trees - there is a great BOGOF at the moment at Mail order Trees - anyone had any luck with them? £19.99 for a wide variety of fruit trees - I'm tempted to get a Nottingham Medlar and a Vanja Quince (I love my weird hipster fruits).

    Took the plunge in the end - ordered some very cheap bare root dog roses, as well as a Nottingham Medlar and a Champion Quince from 3 Fat Pigs - will let you all know how they work out!
