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.

Do they indicate the rootstock used? Just look for clean undamaged stems
seems a good price
