For less than a fiver each. I believe it is from Thursday but do check their website.

Hope this helps some of you looking.

Thanks for that John.
Was down there this morning - good looking trees for the price and a good selection.
I came away with 2 types of eating apple, 2 cherries, and a peach! Think I'm going to have to keep them in the greenhouse for now.

I also got 3 x 6 herb plug packs - early I know but I couldn't resist, and 6 fruit bushes.
All for £30! At least it's a nice day for me to plant everything on

Thanks for the tip off John,

  I called in to the Aldi near work first thing this morning. I got 12 trees as I have a large area that was once an orchard and now only has one apple tree in it. I also noticed the same selection of trees in poundstrecher today but they were £2 dearer.

I now need to ask the fruit experts how to set out an orchard!

i bought a couple of bramleys seedling from aldi last year to train as espaliers, theyve done really well,i didnt let them set fruit for the first year. i bought a couple more last week, a coxs orange pippin and a morello cherry. they also stock a living salad mix for about 60p i split the pack and planted them up theyve taken fine. a nice cheap and easy way to get some early salads in. tescos dont get a penny of my money, they can make do with the 1 in 7 pounds of the british economy they get!!

just to add...

went to focus today - huge tall fruit trees, pot price £9:99. charged at till £8:99  - it was abit tall for my ford fiesta (boot full of groceries) but I curled it in gently! 
bought a Stella cherry, to companion the one I have that did naff all last year!

Morrissons got some small, but healthy looking fruit trees for £5 & some native hedging for £2 at the mo 

[princesspiggy]

lidl have got 2 fruit trees for £8, so tempted cos quite thick branch/trunk.

Give it a go PP

All 3 of the crab apples I got from Morrissons for £5 each the other week have braved the weather & are budding-up ok

couldnt see any trees at my local-ist Morrisons ...might go back to Focus & see if there's any plum trees

[Elissian]

I bought the 2 cherry trees for £8 from Lidl, they seem nice strong tress shouldn't take long to branch out.

The 2 fruit bushes I bought from Homebase aren't happy - the gooseberry had a few leaves on but they're not doing well now planted, and the loganberry or tayberry (forget which it was) lost the few it had and now looks like a dead twig

I need a couple more rasps somewhere so could pick up replacements for these but sometimes cheap ones aren't so cheap - or maybe it's just my care

[northfifeduckling]

We had not a bad ratio with the cheap trees, I buy them anywhere, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons. Usually 1 out of 4 doesn't make it but that could be our soil which gets waterlogged in the winter...Need another dark plum this year. The only grievance was an ornamental crab aple which I know 100% I did not buy!
Ellie, did your shrubs look healthy when you bought them?

[Beewyched]

Altogether I bought;
1 Whitebeam
3 Rowanberry
4 Crab Apples
2 Willow
1 something with no label
Total spend £34
& they're all getting leaves

I just got 6 fruit bushes for £4 at poundland - no idea how they'll do but they have shoots already.  The rasps I replanted along the fence I had put up last year haven't sprouted so i think I left them out of the ground too long.  They were a bit too thorny anyway.  Anybody ever killed rasps before
