Im all excited, I have just this minute put in my order to blackmoor for all my fruit. I did a bit of shopping around incl the supermarket/cheap shop, garden centres and numerous online mail orders and they seemed the best. One of ther best in terms of price for quality stuff. Particularly as I want dwarf trees and also a family apple tree as only having the one, its 3 verieties grafted onto one.
So I have ordered:
40 strawberry, 10 of each, early, mid, late and perpetual
20 raspberry canes, 10 of each summer and autumn fruiting
2 blueberry 2 dif varieties
2 redcurrent 2 diff
2 rubarb 2 diff
1 stella cherry
1 family apple tree
Cant wait for them all to arrive and get them in!
HOW exciting!!!....ground all prepared and ready, then? Love the sound of your apple tree btw 8)....what are the varieties & what's the eventual height of the tree?
Hope they arrive soon.....

Ive gone for the Queen Cox, Greensleeves, Fiesta.
They are 2 years old and reatch an eventual height of 3 meters
Useful height, nice mix of apples 8) Hope your postie brings you your goodies soon 8)
Just thought I would say, my fruit plants/trees arrived today.
Im so impressed all of them are way bigger than expected, about double the size of stuff from garden centres. Particularly the redcurrent, which for some reason I thought was like a little shrub, and I have had over a 5ft tree delivered (glad I did just get one now!)
I have just stood everything in buckets of water for an hour or so, then I have some compost that I can stick in the buckets instead, as I wont be able to go and plant them till Sunday.
Really looking forward to it.
