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.

Cheers

Bramleys are a triploid, you will need two different apple trees to
pollinate it.
