  • Aldi and Lidl fruit bushes - varieties?

    Aldi and Lidl are 16 miles away from us so I can't go there to look at their fruit bushes, come home to google the varieties and then go back.
    Does anyone know what varieties the fruit bushes they're selling at the moment are please?
    (We'll be going in today or tomorrow so it would be great if I could google before going )

    I bought a Blackcurrant from lidl and there was no variety on the packaging in ANY language lol. My first go at it, so not too worried. Growing well

      It's really annoying that they don't label them properly. I have emailed the companies, who did provide name of variety when requested (it was Jenny kiwi if I recall), but it's a small thing to do, surely, just add an extra word on the label?
      It's one problem you get with general stores selling plants (the other problem is the staff not understanding that plants need to be kept watered and in daylight)

        Come to think of it the roses I bought from Lidl weren't labelled. I chose mine by the pictures and hoped they were correct!
        On the other hand the plum trees, bought at the same store, on the same day, were. (Stanley and Cacanska Lepotika.) I'll just keep my fingers crossed

          The labelling on the seed packets leaves a lot to be desired too.

          Wilkinsons also good for cheap stuff if that's closer?

            Thanks Methe. All the shops are in the same place (nearest town). If I have enough energy I'll have a look at Wilkie's too

              I picked up 1 Red gooseberry, 1 Red current and 1 green gooseberry yesterday, and getting a black current today.

              Here is the link https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuy.../fruit-bushes/ to Aldi's range. . . .Their strawberry plants also look pretty tempting!

                  Hmmm I like the look of those red current plants, think I need to get one. Got three raspberry plants from there the other week too.
