A mini potted apple tree is really great, I bought two for my grandsons, they take two seasons to fruit, and last Autumn, we all went and picked our first crop of about 15 apples, they really enjoyed picking and eating them, they aren't really that keen on apples usually, but because they'd watched them grow all Summer, they really loved them!................they cost about �18 and I got a free pear tree too because I bought both apple trees, so we had pears too!
