I'm no Titchmarsh mate, but don't think any of those trees grow in our country. :laughing:

Think with lemon tree's, you can put them outside during the summer months. But when the temp is below 10c then you must bring them inside for the rest of the year.

I've got a large fig tree in my garden, lots of figs all summer.

Yep, we've got a mini orange tree that's been producing fruit for years. outside when it's warm, inside when it isn't and you'll be fine. fig and lemon trees are happy with similar treatment too.

If these are the same ones they have been selling for a few weeks , they are normal trees (ie not on dwarfing rootstock) . They therefore need to be planted into your garden and are not suitable for Patio containers . Check the full grown height on the package , if less than 1.5 metres it'll be fine for a large patio pot - if more it will need to go in the garden (and risk our winter temperatures ) .
Made the same mistake myself , bought s plum tree from LIdl (intended for the patio ),only on getting it home did I see that the height would be 3-4 metres when full grown . My mistake ,it wasn't being sold as a patio tree . In the garden now -maybe plums next year :smiley: - If the birds don't get them first :disappointed: .
Note you will only get fruit from these trees after at least 2 years ( if then) so don't expect any this summer .
