General Gardening / Quince tree repot barrel help
« Last post by dougens on Today at 10:53 »Hi
I have a quince tree in a pot being doing fine for years but never fruited.
I’m repotting on into a much larger whiskey barrel
Barrel is
Top diameter 67cm
Bottom diameter 54cm
Height 48cm
It will positioned on the stone patio
I have a few queries if anyone can help please?
- drilling 4 1” drainage holes in the bottom?
- making up a mix of PF compost / topsoil / perlite / blood and bone / some bark / homemade compost
- should I put it on wheels? I don’t really want to but at the least will put it on raisers to clear underneath?
But will this be moveable without wheels if we need to redo the patio?
It would need a few people.
Anyone any advice / experience please help.

Finally I know repotting late. Will this be an issue?
Thanks all!
