Tip about fruit tree buying

Someone mentioned http://www.mailordertrees.co.uk on here a while ago. I've just bought three fruit trees from them and am delighted to recommend them for a special offer they have at the moment. They have some "imperfect" fruit trees on special offer at £47.42 for three  including delivery. Mine arrived within two days of ordering, are extremely healthy-looking two-year old specimens at about 2 metres height and as they are rooted into pots can be planted right away. 

Apparently the "imperfection" is to do with their slightly irregular shape although to me and my neighbour who's been growing fruit for fifty years, they look fine

Well Ann, thanks for the tip

You need to be very careful about buying trees from supermarkets or other non-specialists.

They tend not to have the rootstock identified on them, so you risk having the most vigorous version of the tree ... which is not always appropriate in many gardens.

Excellent 

Do you mean patio trees? They get to about 1.5m high in containers, a bit higher in the ground.

Blackmoors have a few: http://www.blackmoor.co.uk/category/347 and have a good reputation. They get a proportion of their trees in turn from Brogdale, which is here: http://www.brogdaleonline.co.uk/buy/ Both very good suppliers. Most of the trees in both my local garden centres are either from Brogdale or from Blackmoors.
