Incidentally, I bought my first two bushes from woolies, at just under

they are very small twigs at the moment.
Just waiting for them to replenish the shelf before I have a few more,
same offer is on other soft fruits as well.

Call me picky but I would never ever buy fruit bushes, climbers and
bedding plants from Woolies let alone Aldi, Lidle etc. Under a fiver
you get fantastic bushes, 6/8 stems on them, buds and good root system
from crocus.com or a good fruit bushes specialist, nursery, garden
centre etc. If you want greeting cards and pencil cases, you go to
wollies ;o)

Point taken, It's a shame the days of woolies having a proper garden
dept. are gone, long gone.
