Title: Mini Orchard Collection
Post by: Elaine G on May 11, 2010, 14:48

I tried very hard not to click the link in John's email, but succumbed to temptation :lol:
Garden Bargains are offering mini apple, pear and plum trees.
Does anyone have an idea of what size pots I would need to buy to grow these successfully please?

Thanks

Elaine

I'd go with at least 12" wide pots, by about 18" high. True, they're mini's, but you never want to give them too little soil in which to survive well.

Thanks Trillium.
Wiil investigate the pots before I purchase the trees!
