Hi,
Im new to this, but finding this site invaluable :D and i have lots of questions (sorry!)
Just wanting to put in some fruit trees in pots, thinking mulberry, tangello or orange, apples (red), miracle tree, maybe a lemon and or a lime tree, blueberry tree amoungst others ;)
might just get a variety pack too for good measure.
i know that i need two apples to produce fruit, do i need two of any of the others? and would two in adjacent bonsai bags be appropriate? actually would bonsai bags be appropriate to produce fruit?
alongside my vegie garden these would make my little yard heaven!
any advice on which varieties would bear best in my region?
thanks heaps for you help in advance
how long till i could expect fruit? :D

Hi Emma
I am growing a number of fruit trees in Bonsai bags - almond, lime, mandarin, peach, apple and apricot. So far the citrus are doing best. They are 'in ground' bags, but I am moving next year so have them above ground. None of them need pollinators (the almond is All-in-one). I am still experimenting,but my original idea for growing like this was to keep the trees small enough to net, to keep away the birds. Don't get much fruit otherwise! They do need careful attention to watering and feeding, like anything in a pot. You won't need special bags for blueberries, as they don't grow vey large - a pot is fine. I am hoping Daley's can get permission to put the original article about growing trees in bags on their website, so look out for it. It is a mine of information.
Cheers
