    make sure you're buying a suitable cultivar - i remember reading that they were selling varieties which don't fruit well here.

    I bought a Coxs apple tree from Lidl a couple of years ago. This is the first year Ive had fruit, I have to say the apples were very nice crisp and sweet.

    Have heard mixed things, from excellent to rubbish. Read up a bit on what to look for when buying a tree and also how the types do in Ireland and try get the healthiest one you can. If you have the space it's worth a punt I reckon.

    I've had no luck with Lidl trees, they never seem to amount to anything. No fruits and some reverted back to rootstock.
