Popped into Aldi yesterday and they are selling bare-rooted Morrello Cheries ( Sour ones) for €5 a tree.

Also Apples/plums/pears.

Nice looking trees as well

So naturally I had to buy 2! ;)

I can't see them on the internet now that I going looking for them but I got dried sour plums awhile back from an ethnic food shop.

I've mostly been using them, and dried limes, to flavour rice (they stick them in when boiling it in places like Iran and Iraq) but I've been trying to think of a way of using them in beer. They are massively sour - almost like citric acid, and they've got stones.

Those trees are quite good. I had fruit in the first year (although only a few and the birds got them)

I am going to enclose them in a Bird/Big-Fast-Bunny* Cage
