I suppose at least they're in pots  ;D

gonna check out the rootballs on the goji and the blueberry ones tomorrow. earlier this yr (feb time, i think) i bought a 'red haven' peach tree from aldi, and omg, the rootball system was hardly there.. i was quite disgusted really.. took till mid may before it came into leaf. it's doing ok now..

i don't know how i'm gonna discretely tip the plant out of it's pot w/o drawing any attention to myself.. do you think i should ask the manager if that would be possible?

Be bold just tip the plant gently out of the pot and have a look. 

Be warned Tayberries are horrendously prickly. 

At £1.99, is it not worth trying and persevering?

I mean, if it was in a 15 litre pot costing £25 for example, you'd rightly expect something for your money.

But a 9cm pot @ £1.99?

Hooray
I got two gooseberries and the last blueberry in the shop. They look really healthy and i cant wait to get them bedded in for the winter.

Ace just need some plums trees now and the fruit bed will be complete.

Caution, read knottygal's post in edibles  :-\

bought the blueberry and goji plants and they looked nice actually albeit v. young (prob 1yo cuttings) so i'll imagine they'll take a couple to get my first crop. i've replied to the other thread about the cross-pollination query on the blueberry as it's not a named variety as i'm kinda regretting buying the plant as i'll prob have to buy a couple of named varieties that can pollinate this one (that is if they all flower at the same time!! ??? ???)

i too has been to Aldis and got 2 blue berries as wasn't sure of pollination issues  but only got 1 fig 1 grape and 1 kiwi has there is a kiwi on plot but one i also got 2 gooseberries and 2 tay berries all carried in a back pack on my scooter so was happy they were the size they were saved having to make 2 trips

Ive got seven other blueberries and five gooseberries so im not worried at all and still glad of such a bargain.
