Britain's £7 Supermarket Fruit Trees: Scam or Secret Goldmine?

I spent £45 on a fruit tree at a "proper" nursery. It died. Then I spent £7 on a supermarket fruit tree. It's six foot tall, thriving, and about to save my family £400 a year. This is the brutal, honest comparison nobody else is doing — every supermarket fruit tree I've planted this year, every expensive nursery tree that's failed me, and the ONE thing all the cheap supermarket trees have in common that makes them perfect for renters and small UK gardens.
