Perfect for keeping in pots on your patio or decking, or for planting straight into your garden, this mini fruit tree set is a great, wallet-friendly way to start creating your own little orchard that's set to keep your fruit bowl full for seasons to come.

These patio fruit trees have been specifically chosen for their dwarf habit, which makes them ideal for growing in large containers, regardless of what space is available.

The 5-piece set includes a Golden Delicious apple tree, an easy-to-grow variety that produces masses of attractive golden-green apples that store well over a long period after harvesting, making them great for use in cooking or eating cold.

This gala tree is another apple tree in the collection. It is a reliable cultivar that produces attractive, red-flowered fruits that boast a surprisingly sweet flavour when eaten straight from the tree or used to make a delicious juicing apple.

The bundlealso includes the best-known of all pear trees, the Conference, which produces excellent fruit that can be enjoyed as a dessert pear but also tastes exceptional when cooked. The long, bell-shaped fruits with firm flesh can be eaten hard or fully ripe, and they have a smooth, juicy flavour.

The collection is also stocked with a self-fertile Black Amber plum tree, which promises to yield plenty of rounded, firm purple fruits with a deliciously juicy texture. The last tree in the set is this self-fertile Sylvia cherry tree, a dwarf cherry tree that is sure to be an ideal plant for the patio, where it makes a great focal point in spring as pale pink cherry blossom cloaks the branches.

This set is available for the reduced price of £49.99 at Thompson & Morgan, Dobies, or Suttons, or you can find a similar set on Amazon for the slightly lower price of £39.99.

Raking in plenty of reviews, one 5-star rater beams about this set, writing: "Arrived very fast and well packed in first class condition, planted out and are growing away very happily."

Another satisfied customer raves: "The trees are still very young but have lots of leaf buds on them."

A third chimes in: "Usual excellent condition of plants securely and safely packaged. Ideal mini orchard for limited space."

While this shopper shares: "Superbly packaged really healthy looking plants."
