Where can I buy vines, fruit plants, trees from cheaply?

I've been looking online not just for vines but other fruit plants and trees and it is so difficult to find anything I want that is in stock at a reasonable price. Availability is shocking and even if you find something delivery times are terrible. I've seen some items that won't be delivered until December.

I am going to a couple garden centres on Sunday but not hopeful I'll find what I want.

The vines in particular that I was after were:

Sauvignon Blanc 5 or 6
Chardonnay 5 or 6
Pinot Noir 2 or 3
Pinot Meunier 1 or 2

Some of the plants and trees I am after are:

Sea Buckthorn
Blueberry - Star variety only
Raspberry - Ruby, Tulameen and Polka
Camellia sinensis assamica

I appreciate any help or advice on places to look online or in the real world.

Whereabouts in the country are you?  if you pop your general location into your forum profile then it might help people provide a focused answer.

In the meantime, check out the fruit growers such as Muir, or R V Roger of Pickering.

Cheap and quality+ choice  don’t usually  go together though. If you are looking for something specific my feeling is you will have to pay for this. Also,  it really isn’t fruit tree planting season - that tends to be autumn/ winter. A specialist tree grower such as Brogdale will have a great selection but won’t be cheap. These people appear to have Pinot Noir and other wine making varieties: https://www.victoriananursery.co.uk/Grape-Vine-Pinot-Noir/
 Cheap  would be something like  Lidl and you’d just take whatever they put out without any choice as to variety. However I know some people on here have bought plants there and been happy with them.

If buying fruit trees from somewhere cheap, take extra care with the rootstock which they are on.  Often this isn't labelled (accurately or at all) and you may end up with a tree which is far too large for your situation.

I'm in Leeds. I managed to get a couple of Sauvignon Blanc vines from Langlands but nothing of the rest. I can't find Raspberry plants anywhere or any of the other ones I'm after.

As Missmoneypenny says, it isn't the best time of year for planting fruit, which is why you are having trouble with stock availability.  I would order now for delivery in the autumn.  As others said, if you want specific varieties and plants that are good quality and will thrive it is a false economy to buy the cheapest. 

I have used RV Roger in Pickering several times and they are a good nursery.  Also Blackmoor.

I'm eating raspberries off canes from Ken Muirs.  Not sure they were the cheapest but they have paid for themselves and some.

We bought some fruit trees in Tesco earlier this year.  They were £6 each, we got cox Apple's and Victoria plums.  They seem to be doing ok.

You can try local Facebook groups, sometimes you get pretty neat swapping deals or very good prices.

I get mine here https://www.pomonafruits.co.uk/  They are good, but don't know if cheap as I just buy them anyway.
