dwarf trees in pots

3 responses

Julie says... Stones will make it pretty heavy, and the pot is already terracotta. If I want drainage, I use broken bits of styrofoam packaging. Very light, and it never seems to break down. Edit: But maybe that didn't really answer your question?	About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 15th March 2016 9:54pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees
bri140 starts with ... would it be a good idea to line the bottom of a 35cm terracotta pot with small pebble stones to improve drainage for dwarf fruit trees?	About the Author bri140 Bundanoon NSW 2578 14th March 2016 3:03pm #UserID: 13517 Posts: 2 View All bri140's Edible Fruit Trees

bri140 says... Hi Julie Thanks for your reply. It did partially. Weight is not a problem as i will be using a trolley to move them. I have since read on the net that pebbles in the base are a definite NO! No! as they actually increase moisture retention & cause problems.

Julie says... Yea, I think I remember Don Burke saying it was no longer a good idea. I have to say, I gave up doing it myself - not deliberately, just forgot! Plants seem to be doing OK.
