Default Fruit tree prices

Just wandering through Homebase and they have containerised fruit trees, 2
for £20.

Now I don't usually trust HomeBase to be cheap for anything (especially if
Jamie Oliver branded) but Google sugests that £10 a tree is quite a
resonable price, with most bare rooted trees being slightly more.

Are these good value?

Thinking probably of a Victoria plum and a Bramley apple to go on the
allotment.


£10 per tree sounds very cheap to me, what's wrong with them?



Nothing that I can see - about 3-4' tall and healthy looking, with roots
covered.
