Supermarket fruit trees

Hi ,
I bought a selection of very cheap fruit trees from Lidl and Tesco's.
They are great quality.

Originally in huge pots they are planted
out in a section of the garden ,which I intend to be temporary as it's too small .

As the soil is acidic I've limed the soil .

It's nasty stuff so it's been distributed wearing plastic gloves a mask and not on a windy day as I didn't want it in my eyes .

I had to make a barrier to protect the acid loving plants next to it .

Sunk deep you can't see it !

Our Tesco is selling fruit trees. Had standard roses last month.

Just been to Aldi and they were selling lovely orange and lemon trees. Didn’t check price but it’s never much. I bought an apple tree a few years ago, had an decent choice of variety, £3.99. It’s grown a treat.

I’ve bought several fruit trees from Aldi, all doing well, but think their labelling needs some attention, what was labelled as a discovery turned out to be a coxes, shame, as I had one of those already?

Morrisons head office are helpful, from my experience.so give them a call. Internet should give details of the number, and they will be able to advise where you can obtain the info you are looking for.

That's a good idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. Thank you ?

I bought a miniature grape tree 4 yrs ago from B&M and was quite fretful that it would not take well but how wrong I was it has taken well and last year we had some small but perfectly formed grapes maybe in a few years time I may be lucky and am able to pick a bunch .

I had a look around Daventry earlier this week but not a fruit tree of any sort to be found, let alone dwarf ones,. I tried Waitrose, Aldi, Tesco, B&M and B&Q.

I popped into a local nursery and they had just had some Fruit trees in, but none were dwarf, and they didn't have the varieties I wanted anyway!

Thanks. aonk.

I will be going into town next week so will have a look there.

I know sainsbury's sell plants and trees too. I bought quite an established wisteria from there for only £20 and I didn't think it would do very well, what with being from a supermarket but it has really established itself quickly

Yes I have seen some in Wilkinson. My DH bought a cherry tree for £6!
