Fruit Tree - Great Suffolk Street

Lovely that this small business is selling essentials - fresh pasta - fruit etc at fair prices & being fair with people as to what they can buy so everyone can get through this challenging time.

Little bit of history for you. The Fruit Tree is more or less on the same site that Snowy's the green grocer was before the rebuild( corner of the old Bittern Street /Gt. Suffolk Street) . Coincidentally Snowy used to make up a box of fruit and veg for my mum and me which saved her time cos of long working hours and she was always grateful and he never diddled her out of a penny . Sounds like the good values are still being maintained

Lovely! I visited them on the day they opened.

Lovely

Passed here today, they have a great selection of fruit and veg and essentials like loo roll too!

Would love to see pics of the area before the (I assume post war) rebuild.

Closed today! I think they may have sold out all of their stock. Lots of fruit and veg left out front, presumably for free...

Hi Everyone, I was out on my socially-distancing daily walk and happened upon The Fruit Tree which was very much open for business today - Monday 30th March. Good idea to be able to shop in the open air and staff and customers seemed pretty good at the 2 metres apart . As I hadn't plan to shop, my selection was rather random but came away with new potatoes, baking potatoes, a cauliflower, bunch of bananas and big bag of plain flour (for baking). Hope this is helpful.
