Got all my fruit bushes from Aldi a couple of years ago - they have done brilliantly.

Blueberries were in Woolies a couple of weeks ago from about £2.99 - I think they were reduced, but it might be worth trying.

Got a plum and a morello cherry from Aldi last year and the cherry even managed to produce a a few cherries in the first summer. Hoping for great things this year.
