Nothing at our Lidl's as yet. I won't buy fruit trees from there because I don't know what rootstock they are grown on.
Has anybody bought these in the past and now know how big they grow?

My local Lidl (Feltham) has kitchen stuff on Thursday and car stuff on Sunday.  ??? :'(

So, check their website for your local store before you go.

Just out of interest, do the people with fliers have the gardening stuff mentioned when they put their postcode into the site?

Trees are in Lincoln Lidl:-
Pears - Beurre Hardy, Doyenne de Comice
Apples - Granny Smith and Bramely. The labels say the they grow over 10ft but have no info about rootstock. 
All £3.99, was tempted by a pear tree but did not buy as I was on my bike...
