I've just ordered five plum trees and 10 cranberry plants! I don't have a lot of room for trees but a Victoria plum would go nicely in place of a weigela that's currently in a sunny corner. My son has taken up a fence and put in some posts and wires to grow espalier fruit trees, so he's getting three plum trees for Christmas and my daughter is getting the other one because she's always making jam and chutney!
The cranberry bushes are something I fancy growing in the border, they're evergreen and low growing with pink blossom so I think they'll be OK and hopefully in a couple of years I'll be making my own cranberry sauce for Christmas. Son, daughter and sister are also getting a couple of cranberry plants each!
