According to money-smart shoppers, the popular store has now slashed the price for a plant that will instantly transform your outside space.
Not only does the plant cost just £2 but it will also last for years, if looked after properly – and it’s easy to see why B&M customers are loving this deal.
Shopper Kimberley Banfield, from Bristol, took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook after she had spotted fruit trees on sale.
The trees, which are of a decent size, are currently going for just £2, with some on offer for £4.
Although the post did not specify which type of fruit the trees will grow, B&M shoppers have been raving over their apple and pear trees.
Sharing a snap of the epic bargain on the forum, Kimberley wrote in the caption: ”Fruit trees reduced to between £2-£4 at B&M!”
The news has since taken the gardening world by storm, with the post racking up more than 50 likes and 30 comments in a day.
One green-fingered Facebook user said: ”Our apple tree from there is doing great!”
Another gardening fan chimed in: ”These apple trees are great for the money, this was planted in February this year with no leaves on it, now April and it’s stronger and has healthy leaves on it.”
”I got some last year, brilliant buy,” someone else commented.
As Brits prepare for the warmer summer months, the bargain superstore also recently launched B&M Solar Lamps starting as low as £1.50.
And the good news is the lights, which vary in price up to £25, are available to buy from stores now.
The retail giant told customers on social media: “Your garden’s glow-up starts here!
Gardening mistakes that could get you fined
Gardening experts over at Toolstation have revealed the garden laws you need to be aware of not breaking.
While some of these laws could land you with a fine of up to £20,000 in extreme cases, a friendly chat with your neighbours can usually resolve any issues.
Tree removal and pruning: If you have a tree in your garden you want to get rid of you better think twice and do your research.
The gardening experts reveal: “If one neighbour wishes to remove or heavily prune a tree that the other neighbour values, disputes can arise over the impact on the view, shade, or privacy. “
While it might cause a row, if it is in your property boundary it is ultimately your choice, unless it has a Tree Protection Order on it.
“But, some trees may be protected by a Tree Protection Order which makes it an offence to uproot, top or destroy them, the experts warn.
The maximum fine for breaking this law is £20,000, so make sure you double check if it does have a TPO.
You can find out by contacting your local council for a map that shows this information. Alternatively, you can ask to speak with your local tree officer.
Property boundaries and fences: One of the main causes of neighbours falling out is through arguing over property boundaries and fencing.
To avoid this situation, the gardening pros recommend checking the deeds of your property to determine the correct boundaries
“Most of the time, it’s easy to determine who owns the fence as the fence posts will usually be on the owners side,” they add.
“Additionally, the height of fences or hedges can cause disputes between neighbours if one party feels the height has exceeded the two metre guidance.
“Hedges and fences should be no more than two metres high, and you could be asked by the council to take them down if a neighbour complains about the height.
“Luckily, standard fence sizes are less than two metres tall so you shouldn’t have a problem.”
Garden structures and additions: A pergola is the perfect addition to a garden if you want somewhere to relax in the shade.
But if it obstructs your neighbour’s view or violates local building regulations it could cause a dispute, as can sheds and other garden structures.
“If you’re not sure, have a chat with your neighbours to let them know what you’re planning and, if there’s an issue, get in touch with your local council who can give you more guidance,” advise the gardening experts.
Overhanging branches and plants: “When branches, vines, or roots from one neighbour’s tree or plant extend into the neighbouring property, it can lead to disagreements over potential damage to structures, blocked views, or the burden of maintenance,” reveal the pros.
However, it’s important to note you can only trim overhanging branches up to the boundary of your property otherwise, it could be seen as trespassing.
You can climb into the tree to carry out the work if needed, but only on your property and make sure to stay on your side of the fence if you don’t have permission to enter your neighbours garden.
“Light up your garden with our HUGE range of Solar Lamps now in store!
“The perfect way to light up your outdoor seating space.”
Shoppers are are scrambling to get their hands on the range, which includes a Solar Powered Milan Floor Lamp 137cm for £25, a Solar Powered Table Lamps 2pk (£8) and the Crystal Effect Solar Lantern (£4).
Other penny-pinching products include the Crystal Effect Solar Table Lamp (£3.50) and the Modern Solar Table Lamp which was £2.50 and is now reduced to £1.50.
Excited fans on social media commented: “Need!”
A second added: “Wow.”
