What did you get folks? We bought 2 Gooseberry and 4 trees, 1 Stella Cherry, 1 Victoria Plum, 1 Opal Plum and 1 Comice Pear. Not too sure about pollination groups, but there are loads of fruit trees on our site so I'm sure we'll be OK. All the plants looked healthy, except the Blueberries, but I suppose at 99p they might be worth a go. We got 4 from Tesco a few weeks ago, on offer at 2 for £10.

I was hoping for an apricot, but they didn't have any, so I just bought one more gooseberry plant to fill a small gap in Gordon's garden  8).

Went in first thing yesterday, picked out several blueberry, red currant, a plum tree and a shrub. Got to the counter to be told they do not accept credit card which was all I had grabbed in my rush to get there!!! Had to put everything back. Couldn't get back until today and gues what???? the one thing I wanted was the Blueberry and yep you've guessed it ----- they had sold out of them, plenty of gooseberry and blackberries left but not one blueberry - not a happy bunny :'( :'( :'(

don - Try Tesco, in ours they were 2 for £10, much nicer looking than the Lidl ones, and as they have a 'sell by' date on them, you might be able to pick them up when they are reduced - we did ;)

I'm so pleased, I have managed to get a crab apple and a cooking apple tree.  Tempted by the others, but am getting a plum tree for Xmas, so had to exercise some restraint.  No blueberries left tho.
