This is an ingenious idea, especially for those who live in apartments sans gardens. For 35 per year you can rent your very own cherry tree in Kent. The site offers you four different types of tree to choose from which you visit and pick the produce yourself - they maintain it in your absence to their professional standards.

The site explains the value for money: "As a guide, the price of cherries in supermarkets can range from 6 - 12 a kilogram. The yield on your tree will obviously vary, but in an optimum year could be as much as 15-20 kilograms, meaning lots of cherries for your friends to enjoy as well." The site also caters for renting with friends or work colleagues and stocks a tempting cherry brandy.
