They measure just under four foot, are available with pink or white blossoms, and feature 100 cool white lights.
Sharing a picture of the Aldi find brightening up her garden on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, delighted shopper Brittany said: "Light up cherry blossom trees from Aldi £19.99, so worth the money.
"They also have a different colour."
And other gardening fans are now racing to snap one up before they're gone.

Elsewhere, here's the Home Bargains buy that will brighten up your space while making it look like something out of Bridgerton.
Meanwhile, Amazon has a £14 privacy buy that is described as "perfect" for summer.

Chuffed shopper shares £9.99 buy she got for 50p to brighten up her garden but is quickly warned it could die ‘in weeks'
She picked up four of them when she saw they'd been reduced to 50p each GARDEN FIND Chuffed shopper shares £9.99 buy she got for 50p to brighten up her garden but is quickly warned it could die 'in weeks' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A CHUFFED shopper who couldn't resist boasting about the £9.99 Home Bargains buy she got for 50p has been warned her delight may be short-lived. Kellie was in the store at the Bentley Bridge retail park in Wolverhampton when she came across some cute little box bushes, which had been slashed to just 50p each. 3 Chuffed shopper Kellie took to Facebook to share her most recent bargain find Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook 3 She came across these box bushes reduced to just 50p each, so nabbed four Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook 3 But people were quick to warn her that they could die 'in weeks' if attacked by caterpillars Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook Thrilled, she picked up four, and took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her epic find. "My little bargain small bushes reduced to 50p each from £9.99," she wrote alongside pictures of the plants. "A few left in the store by the tills." She added that she'd trimmed the bushes and planted them, so "hopefully they will grow".

"Caterpillars! We had to rip out all of ours this year from the garden as the little b**gers got to ours!" one wrote. "Bushes that had been growing for more than 10 years gone in weeks as they destroyed them. "They are unfortunately ruining all of these bushes - just be aware!!" "Mine too, hundreds of the bleddy things at the all they could eat buffet!" another agreed. "20 plus years and all gone in couple of weeks!"

"Within 2 weeks they were dead along with so many others I had. "Check for caterpillars!" "I had well established bushes like these," someone else sighed. "All got eaten within weeks by a caterpillar. Tried to grow back, got eaten again. Common garden pests Common pests in the garden don't need to be a cause for alarm. If you can identify them, you can work on getting rid of them and preventing them from returning. Aphids (Greenfly, Blackfly) Aphids are extremely common and can impact plant growth. They have tiny soft pear-shaped bodies, and are usually green or black. You may spot them clustered on the stem of soft shoots – look under leaves in particular – or may find a sticky substance on your plants that gives away aphids have been there sucking at the sap. Whitefly These small white-winged insects are related to aphids, at just 1 or 2 mm in length, and look very much like white moths as adults. They can be found on the underside of leaves, preferring younger, fresher leaves. They fly in clusters when you disturb them. Their lifecycle is only three weeks long, which means an infestation can occur very rapidly. Slugs An unmissable, squashy-looking body plus small sensory tentacles on its head. Slugs move along on one muscular foot. They range in scale from surprisingly small to terrifyingly large; limax cinereoniger species can grow comfortably beyond 20 cm in length. Cabbage Moth Caterpillar Cabbage moth caterpillars happily make their way into the heart of the vegetables, The caterpillars are distinguished in shades of yellow or browny green with no hair. Mealy Bug Mealybugs are tiny oval-shaped insects that have a white, powdery wax coating. There are several different species, many of which have what looks like legs coming from their sides and back end. In their earliest stage of life, it's entirely possible to mistake them for fungus and not recognise them as insects at all. "You'll need to treat these regularly." "Check for caterpillars!" another warned. "I've got box bushes in my garden and this year the moth caterpillars have ravaged them!" someone else said. "They go brown and have what looks like cobwebs on. "I picked them off by hand and sprayed the bush with washing up liquid/water." "I have them all around my front garden but all huge now," Kellie replied. "Been in 10 years - more like hedges now lol - but never heard of that. "I will be keeping the new ones in pots, thank you!"

3 Rosés from Aldi you don't want to miss and the 1 to avoid
And I was lucky enough to test out the four prized rosés. As a wine drinker, my normal glass of choice is a red (a Merlot to be specific), but when the warmer months eventually come around in the UK, nothing beats a fresh, cold glass of rosé. The sun is shining down, the weather is finally hot (even if it's just for the day), and everyone's in good spirits, topped with a glass of rosé, is my idea of a very nice day out. So, with it very nearly being summer, I was more than happy to try out the award-winning rosés Aldi had selected. Are Aldi's award-winning rosés worth the hype? The four rosés I tested out were: • Jolie by Juliette (£7.69) • Specially Selected Rosorange (£9.99) • Specially Selected Austrain Zweigelt rosé (£8.99) • White Island Spanish rosé (£9.99) Jolie by Juliette Jolie by Juliette (Image: Newsquest) Jolie by Juliette is a 'crisp, vibrant French rosé' according to Aldi that promises flavours of ripe berries, cherries and 'a citrus twist' that creates the taste of the Mediterranean. When I'm picking a rosé, I tend to go for the fruitier option and look for ones with cherries, as I prefer the sweet taste, so I had high hopes for this bottle. I was pleasantly surprised. The taste was sweet but not so much so that it was overpowering, and the crisp citrus twist created a refreshing and delightful taste that would improve any sunny day. I could easily see this wine becoming a new favourite for when the weather is gorgeous and I fancy some al fresco dining. Rating 4.5/5 Specially Selected Rosorange Specially Selected Rosorange (Image: Newsquest)The Specially Selected Rosorange became one of the most viral wines in summer 2024, taking over TikTok and gaining an audience of fans. I, however, had missed out on its viral summer as I'm personally not a massive fan of orange-flavoured drinks, but a part of me had always been curious about what I was missing out on. The Rosorange is described as 'pretty', with aromas of red berry fruits, strawberry, peach, clementine and quince. On the first sip, you are met with a dry, tangy and smooth taste that, although it is strong, it was still nice and refreshing without being bitter. I could only really taste the orange in the wine, and although I said I'm personally not a fan of orange-flavoured drinks, something about this Aldi wine won me over. It was sweet with a tiny hint of sour from the orange, almost as if drinking a freshly pressed orange juice with a small note of berries. Rating: 4/5 White Island Spanish rosé White Island Spanish rosé (Image: Newsquest) Aldi describes the White Island Spanish rosé as an 'escape to Spain' with 'wild strawberry aromas' that mingle with pink peppercorn spice, leading to a silky-smooth finish of candied raspberries. A part of me was worried when I saw peppercorn, expecting it to taste like a bitter and spicy drink that should've never been made. But I was very wrong, this wine was delightful, it was all the right ways. It was smooth, fruity and sweet but not so much that your teeth hurt, and the spice was exactly what it needed. It gave the wine a more sophisticated taste than I've tasted in rosé wine before, and it left me very impressed with Aldi. Rating: 4.5/5 Specially Selected Austrian Zweigelt rosé Specially Selected Austrian Zweigelt rosé (Image: Newsquest) The Specially Selected Austrian Zweigelt rosé is described by Aldi as being a 'vibrant pink with distinct cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate aromas.' Recommended Reading I thought with all of those lovely berries and fruits, I would love this wine, but I did not. It seemed to come with an odd aftertaste that left the mouth feeling very dry and just felt quite lacklustre. I was hoping it would be my go-to rosé with it having everything I think makes a good wine, but it missed the target and ended up being the only wine I didn't like. Rating: 2/5 All of Aldi's award-winning rosés are in stores nationwide now.
