Can anyone recommend a good supplier of fruit bushes/small trees?

[Seahorse]

I'm planning to plant a fruiting hedge this autumn. I'd like to use gooseberries, currants, cranberries, that type of thing. I'm also going to plant a fig (perhaps two) in pots to cover a small area where planting would be unwise as there's a drain underneath.

I don't live near enough to anywhere that sells things like this to go and look in person, so I really need to rely on a good online supplier. I'd prefer to buy fairly well established plants than tiny ones (so I'm not waiting years for my hedge!).

If anyone can recommend a supplier they've found helpful and efficient and who sells good quality stock, I'd really appreciate it.

I've ordered (but won't receive until Nov) fruit bushes from Buckingham Nurseries

A wide range of fruit bushes and hedging. As I say, I can't guarantee the quality as I haven't received the stock yet, but they are a good proce compared to some online companies.

I used Ken Muir last autumn, very good and very quick.

Ken Muir sell named varieties of fruit, tell you what they are, what they will produce, what they need to pollinate them etc. but they are quite pricey. Their service, however, is excellent. If you want quick and cheap try your local Woolworths, B & Q, Lidl or Aldi. Come September everyone will be selling fruit bushes.

I bought a few cheap things from Aldi and Poundstretcher few years ago, they have still not fruited due to them being so small. And i have no idea what the varieties are.

Thanks for all those! So many lovely things, I just wish I had more space!
