    Aldi start selling theirs tomorrow too (£3.99 each), which always seem to be quite popular. They were also selling packs of 3 soft fruit bushes yesterday with some decent varieties available.

            Oooh- hope they get here soon, then!

            Lidl is much easier, than Aldi, for me to get to

              Are those apple varieties good in the Northern Ireland climate?

                      The Braeburn and the Bramley's certainly are - Bramley's are the main apple grown here commercially.

                      The Armagh Bramley is a European Protected Food Name - For those who are interested... see link

                        Lidl fruits

                        I've had red, black and white currants from Lidl before. They seem fine.

                          They offer more varieties than shown on the picture. I saw there Spartan and Discovery apple trees, and also a pear variety with a long name, which I do not remember now.

                          I am not sure if they are really on the dwarf M9 rootstock - they seemed pretty vigourous to me.

                          What do you think about those varieties, anyway?

                              Saw some fruit trees in Tesco this morning but didn't look at the price, although they've been sold at discount-level prices in previous years.
                              .
