sucker or what?

[BUFFS]

I went down the shops with OH yesterday and in the entrance to aldi I spotted some fruit plants for sale @ £1.79, so I got two tayberry, one thornless blackberry, and a black hamberg vine, I couldn't resist them, they saw me coming, and the tayberries and blackberry are now in big tubs and the vine will go in the back greenhouse. I didn't need them but at that price we are not going to be out of pocket much if it don't work out..yep, they saw me coming...again..

I love our thornless blackberry (inherited with the plot). The fruit isn't quite as tasty as a regular bramble but the real biggie is IT HAS NO THORNS. I.E you don't pay the piper every time you pick a few berries.
Good for you Buffs.

Sucker! I thought this was going to be a technical question about suckers on fruit trees

I had a thornless blackberry a long time ago....it made lovely wine

First year for fruit from my thornless, not ready yet, paid more though, we don't shop in Aldi, although a new one is opening soon in Montrose.

I'm a sucker on fruit trees, bushes, shrubs, and anything that produces something to eat..

i don't have the room now and mobility is getting a problem so I have to restrict what I buy to what I can cope with, I have never tasted a medlar and I have wondered what the flavour is like, now if there was a tree growing Newcastle brown ale, I might be able to find room for that..

The Medlars being advertised are bare root.
I was under the impression that just about all fruit planted in the Summer/autumn needs to be container grown?

[veggiechicken]

That's probably why they're so cheap!
