Tesco Trees

There are Trees in Tesco again

Fruits, I saw apples and plums, are £7, willows were £4

Not sure about root stocks, but the cherries I got last year will be 3-4metres when fully grown.
If anyone is thinking of putting in an orchard or a fire wood, these could bulk it out a bit.

Sounds like the title of a song

Wish we had room for a couple more trees in our garden.

No, no, no. If you want to buy trees go to a true tree shop like Talaton.

We'll be getting our first crop in a few months time. Great!

Cheap trees in Tesco means a supplier somewhere is being shafted to get the price down.

What a wonderful dream. Tesco gone out of business, their shops abandoned and nature reclaiming the site

The tree selling link was great.

Anyone got any tips on the best place to buy nut bearing trees - hazlenut, walnut, etc?

Cheers

Nut trees...These guys look interesting. I think they supplied Totnes with their nut trees.

These guys? One guy, I think, Martin Crawford (a very nice chap),

Presumably a very busy one too, then

Must admit I've not bought trees from there as there's a theory it's better to buy near where you intend to plant (so the weather and the tree match up). We bought ours from RHS Harlow Carr.

Very busy, very organized, I guess. I read an article on forest gardens which said that there is a tendency for them to get out of control - the one exception (in the UK, that the author knew of) was Martin's,
