So judging from above responses, lots of these bought over a few years & it produced 1 apple, 2 pears & 3 cherries?

Out of about 7 trees, only one didn't sprout, or bloom. It died, but I had left it a while before planting. The pear tree gave fruit the 1st year, the fig trees also gave fruit the first year, the cherry true gave three cherries. Very happy with them.

Definitely not good. I bought what the label said was an apricot and I gave i ta special time in my sun-lounge and it turned out to be a peach, not as good as the white Italian flesh ones that I already have. Another place not to buy from is J Packer from where I had half single and half double Osteospermum whilst I bought what was supposed to be all doubles. I also bought a pear tree from them and the fruit (one every year) made me realised what it meant by genetic hiccup - the fruit was toally weird but it was a pear all right! It taught me how tough it was to saw a peach tree though. I would stay away unless you can see fruit on the trees! Don't be tempted by the silly prices. They are silly for a reason!

Great trees. Got 3 last time and have grown well no fruit yet but that was because of poor weather last year for me.

Brought a conference pear tree, growing very vigorously and lots of pears, only problem is that the pear isn't conference, haven't been able to identify it yet.

If it's growing that well, it's maybe moved up to League Two, maybe a Championship pear next season :stuck_out_tongue:

i got one of these last year but was a bit late when planting so it was slow to spring into life however there were plenty of new shoots and its all ready for next year fingers crossed

They are rubbish - bought three Cox Apple trees a few years ago - all three produce apples BUT not Coxes, some bland variety I cannot identify. Took the fruit back to the store and got a full refund - still got the trees but they don't look too good.
Buy your fruit trees from a proper nursery!

does it not depend on what other apple trees are in the area? I think apple trees are not self pollinating so you'll need there to be other coxes apple trees within close proximity to get fruit.
pear trees are self pollinating from what i rememnber.

From the first year planted, you shouldn't expect anything edible.

I bout about 10 last year for a patch of land to the side of my house, first year i got enough apples for a good few apple crumbles (Cooking apples) cherry tree started bowing with an insane amount of cherries. no other fruits but didn't expect anything. my bro bought a pear tree which had probably a dozen pears from.
for the money Im impressed but if you are looking to buy 1 or 2 to get established in your garden its worth spending more and getting the exact thing from a recognised root stock as these could be dwarf trees given that the ultimate heights stated on the labels vary from 2 -3metres

I have had 4 trees from Aldi in the past, lots of hard work looking after them and lucky if they just sprout a bit of fruit which quickly dies, all trees died within 2 years. Wont buy these again not worth the hassle, very poor quality
