Comments: - Recently bought some of these at the supermarketed and like the flavour and their low seeds. All our fruit trees will be grown in large containers/pots as we have some very large estabilished trees, gums and none of fruit trees were growing well. So we transplanted them into large pots.

How is it coping in container? Do you recommend it growing in a big pot??

Hi it's going well. It's currently in an 85L pot. But all my fruit trees are about to be transplanted into larger pouches 245L ones. I do give them small amounts of fertilizer every month. This is still all new for me so it;s been a learning curve.
