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.

I think I'd want a peek at the roots. I'd also want to know what the rootstocks were. 3-4ft isn't very big even for a maiden apple tree on a typical dwarfing/semi-dwarfing rootstock like M106 or M26.
