The Range is also offering a mini version this year at just £3.99 each or three for £10.
Fans of the tree flocked to the comments when their return was announced with one writing "I loveee these" and another adding "I need them for my garden".
The trees are known for their bright pink blooms and will, according to The Range, reach 100cm in height on average.
This makes it a perfect addition to your garden this summer, especially if you're after a bit of privacy.

The description of the item on the retailer's website says: "Envelope your garden with the beauty and grace of the Salix Integra Flamingo Plant.
This plant produces lovely pink flowers that contrast the lush green foliage, bringing natural flair to your space.
I made a DIY fence for £68 with pallets from Facebook Marketplace - it gives more privacy & people say it's 'fantastic'
Simply plant it in well-draining loamy or sandy soil and let it bask under the full sun to see it thrive outdoors."
But you'll have to check if your local store quick to see if they're still in stock as the item is currently unavailable to view online.
Prices could vary between locations but there's no doubt it's a great deal ahead of the warmer weather.
You can find your nearest The Range store by using the Store Finder tool on their website.
They're the cheapest on the market right now, with B&Q selling its 17cm trees for a whopping £39.99.
For that price, shoppers could purchase four of The Range's popular tree's or even twelve of the mini-version.
Meanwhile, Wilko's deal on the plant is also more expensive than The Range, charging £17 for a 40cm tree.
On eBay you would have to pay £9.95 for a mini plant - an amount which could almost get you three when shopping at The Range.

Caitríona Redmond: These are the red flags to look for when buying online
From the rapidly increasing price of food to the cost of rent or a mortgage, we are all feeling the squeeze. With less money and a quality of life to maintain, small wonder more of us are turning to alternative marketplaces to buy and sell what we want. Buying from genuine retailers and resellers gives us, as consumers, extra protections such as guarantees, warranties and rights if the goods are faulty. What happens when you opt to buy elsewhere in search of a bargain or that must-have product? Watch out for places where you'd ordinarily trust the seller like community groups on Facebook or WhatsApp. Look for red flags like dramatically low prices for popular items and pictures of items such as new runners sitting on top of branded boxes. The boxes may be authentic but pay attention to stitching, sole patterns, and logo size or placement. In the case of shoes, buying fakes can lead to a world of pain over time. Soles and supports in shoes are designed and developed to support the foot, arches, and ultimately your back. A counterfeit pair of shoes is highly unlikely to have the same manufacturing standards. The old saying of 'you pay cheap, you pay twice' comes to mind. Wearing or owning fake clothes on holidays could also result in hassle. According to the US Customers and Border Protection, visitors can only possess one counterfeit item per type for personal use. In 2024, over 1 million clothing items and more than 600,000 pieces of footwear were seized for breach of intellectual property rights, otherwise known as counterfeiting. For example, each tourist can only possess one pair of runners and one t-shirt that is counterfeit. Imagine having your suitcase opened and holiday wear items removed under this rule? Everything over this individual item limit can (and will) be seized and destroyed. Food isn't immune to counterfeiting either, unfortunately, and many products have been 'shamrock washed' to make them look 100% Irish grown or produced. Shamrock washing is the process of making a product look Irish when it isn't. Honey is one of the worst offenders, but Irish beekeepers are doing all they can to keep this traditional art alive. It's soul-destroying to see honey that looks genuine, while the label says that it contains a blend of Irish and non-EU honey. Real Irish honey is expensive and for good reason. Most of the Irish beekeeping community are hobbyists (my family included). A 300g jar of raw, locally produced honey will set you back over €8. It's also likely to be crystallised or set, as opposed to a runny golden liquid. Raw honey isn't heat-treated, and the crystals form rapidly as a result. If you do see a genuine local beekeeper offering jars for sale online though, snap them up! Looking at those community groups online, it's not uncommon to see locals selling cakes or treats online. Boxes of cupcakes may look lovely but preparing food for sale is a huge responsibility. The first questions I'd be asking are if they have been registered as a food business, have they HACCP training, and what their allergens are. All of these are required by law for any individual or business preparing food for sale in Ireland and a minimum standard for selling food. Marketplace can be just the spot to pick up items of furniture, clothes and equipment to give them a second life. Watch out for what you are signing yourself up for, and when buying larger items, make sure you have a delivery service in place, or you can pick up that bulky set of shelves yourself. After all, a discount set of shelves in Ballybofey without delivery included to Ballybunion is no longer a bargain. Likewise, anybody who has used the local Marketplace or given away items for free is more than familiar with the local couch surfer who will comment under the post with lightning speed saying 'first' or 'still available?'. Make sure you set out your terms in your original sales post, being clear about what time you are free, and how you will get in touch with the recipient. Sometimes second-hand items are not always the best choice. In particular, child car seats which are designed to protect precious cargo in the event of an accident should only be bought new. The buyer has no way of knowing whether a second-hand seat has been involved in an accident, and its effectiveness is reduced as a consequence. The most fraught part of using these community groups and websites is connecting to exchange the goods. Make sure you confirm the agreed price in writing before setting a date, place and time. Where possible, don't meet a potential buyer or seller alone and arrange a meeting place away from your home or business. Don't hand over the cash or payment before making sure that you are happy with the item you have selected and ask for documentation and copies of any warranties or guarantees, particularly when buying an electrical item. Finally, if in doubt, walk away; it's not worth taking any risks. THE EXTRA FACTOR If you must pay for something online, make sure you have extra factor authentication on your card transactions and bank account. I also recommend two payment service options when buying online. The first is PayPal, which offers an extra layer of security as your card details are held elsewhere. The ability to request a refund if an item doesn't arrive on time or as expected is top notch. Secondly, using either ApplePay or GooglePay. These are more modern methods of paying online and by tapping in store. Every single transaction is allocated a unique identifier that cannot be duplicated or used a second time. This prevents your card from being skimmed and your bank account cleared. Read More Life Hack: Cupboard foods to move to the fridge when it gets hot

Other Walkers launches The new Red Leicester crisps are not the only Walkers launch to land in the past year. In March, Walkers brought back two crisp flavours inspired by popular sauces. Advertisement Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
