Aldi fruit trees
« on: February 07, 2013, 14:38:39 »
Hello all.

Aldi have got various fruit trees at £3.99 per tree. They look strong and healthy and tempted me to buy a couple of pear and a plum.

Regards

Great bargains bought a 6ft conferance pear and a cherry today and they are both very healthy. Catalogues charge around £18.99 for each.

I've bought all of mine from Aldi over the last 6 years or so. 8 apple, 1 pear and 2 plum.

Go for it people, they're good.   :toothy10:

2 cherries too, forgot those.....
I hoe, I hoe, then off to work I go.

I went off like a fox in a henhouse... sat in pots in the unheated GH are now two sour cherries, a sweet cherry, two peaches, an apricot and a victoria plum.... they'll be joining the sour and sweet cherries in the garden later this year, I need to take out one of the few remaining decorative plants to accommodate the sour cherries, adn some soft fruit will need moving for the rest of it and I'll lose a veg bed... soft fruit is having a big mix around anyway and a lot of it will be moving to one of the plots  from the garden, I'll do what several others have on our site and entirely net the whole plot... also got almond that will now have to go to the plot as they don't play nicely with peaches... and I think I want to be able to keep an eye n the peaches, whereas hopefully almonds are a "one big day harvest" sort of crop....My aim is to have 5 rods of fruit in a couple of years time.... Heading to a specialist nursery ths weekend to get Jostaberry and anything else they have that looks interesting... fruit is never cheap and I'm a big fan of making my own jam and preserves... and I'm getting a bit lazy to go picking blackberries and plums wild (I prolly still will, just not the 40-odd pounds I picked last year....
