  • Aldi fruit trees

    Just noticed that Aldi will be selling their £3.49 fruit trees next Thursday 4th February. Doesn't say which varieties will be on offer but they normally have a decent selection.

    Thanks Sean.
    Here's a thread from last year when we were trying to find out which rootstocks the trees would have!

      Thanks VeggieChicken. It would appear that they're going to be even cheaper this year. Makes you wonder how the growers make any money selling them at this price.

        Cooking Gala Apple Tree (is actually a dessert not cooking apple)

        they have the usual description of grows to 1.2-1.8m so guessing the rootstock is same as last year

              My local Poundstretcher hasn't stretched as far as yours £3.99 each, must be a glut this year. Though I suspect they will have negotiated prices some time back, if only to get the labels printed.

              A bargain! I can't stop buying them.

                    No Aldi near me so I don't have to restrain myself, but I've got a (very small ) Gala tree and they are eating apples, not cooking as listed.

                        Hi Elfeda,

                        The only one I would have out of that bunch is the raspberry Tulameena...very good and you will have fruit every year.
                        I have bought in the past:
                        Coxis orange pippin "apple"....that was not a cox's orange pippin

                        President "plum"..... that was said to be self fertile, and was not.

                        Bushes like blackberry, gooseberry etc you could dig up and throw away if you did not like it. But you are investing in time, and you could be disappointed. Cox's orange pippin about £18 the best apple by far.

                          They're self-sterile, not self-fertile. Quite different!!
                          As you were

                            I do apologize Norfolkgrey, completely read it wrong.

                            Self sterile, I read as self fertile

                            Wouldn't normally write self sterile, just the word 'sterile' saw the self and assumed next word was fertile.

                            No excuse, I'm sorry

                              ^^^^ ah...we all make mistakes like that from time to time

                              I've been wondering ever since I came here why our Aldi is so rubbish compared to the UK ones....and I've just found out!
                              They are different branches...you have the better one!
                              Apparently Aldi split into 2 companies each run by different brothers years ago.

                              Here - have a look if you are interested...but we got the rubbish end if the deal over here
