unusual fruit trees (plum & greengage) half price now £9.97 each delivered at D.T. Brown

scumpysmumscumpysmum

link is to the 2-tree collection of plum and greengage specially bred from wild style plums by octogenarian expert Tommy Bevis on the Isle of Wight

Free delivery code is DC12GY6

It is actually cheaper to buy the trees individually at £9.97 each than 2 for £19.95

if you buy any 3 trees then if you add an Apple Tree "sunset" you will get that one free

I bought 2 of Tommys greengages and one Plum, got the free apple plus was also offered a free packet of Leek seeds, total 29.91 for 4 trees, delivered

I know Lidl and Aldi do small fruit trees in a bag for £3.99, i have bought them myself before, but you will not find these varieties there. (usually Victoria and Opal plum would be the generally available varieties)

These will be bare-rooted trees but still plenty of time to plant and are likely to be decent specimens

    Nice find and a Thank You from me. :) Greengages are not exactly the easiest to find as, for some odd reason, they went out of fashion, along with Gooseberries.

    well the best of british luck with that vicar, we got one of those from poundstretcher last year a small stick in a bag with hardly any roots which died before it came into leaf

    compare like with like, to some extent you get what you pay for

    wild plums, crazy prices

    My reference to Aldi was due to your erroneous statement,

    I know Lidl and Aldi do small fruit trees in a bag for £3.99, i have bought them myself before, but you will not find these varieties there

    Was not a stick (neither was it from Poundstretcher)
    IMHO I AM comparing like for like.
    Tree looks to be doing fine ................

    not really erroneous it is in fact a completely different variety of greengage

    this one has been bred from a wild plant by some old boy from the isle of wight

    i think you will find the aldi, lidl and poundstretcher trees are all sourced from the same vast dutch? nurseries

    if your tree survives i hope you enjoy your crop of greengages in due course!

    For anyone that is interested, my 'gages arrived today and they are 2 year old growth and are over 150 cms/5 feet tall and look to be very healthy too. All in all, I bought 2 of these for less than twenty quid with free delivery and I'm chuffed - thanks again @Scrumpysmum. :D

    cheers yes got mine the other day too, have just ordered some more weird and wonderful varieties because they are doing a lot of half price trees and the free apple and delivery code still works. The orchard is going to be very productive in years to come
