Su starts with ... Hi! I'm in Melbourne & have a small long strip for the backyard. I'd like to plant Almond & Persimmon trees. How invasive their root systems are? If I plant them in pots, what are the likely problems including their longevity? Would I need to trim the roots every now & then? What kind of pots should I use? Thanks so much! | About the Author Su Melbourne, Essendon 22nd January 2017 9:24am #UserID: 15436 Posts: 2 View All Su's Edible Fruit Trees |
SueBee says... Almonds do not like pots,I have never met anyone growing them in pots - that's not to say none do of course. I also know a lot of people who Bonsai and none do almonds either which can be a sign pots do not suit them much. Persimmon do not have invasive roots and should do ok .Maybe a pair to ensure a good crop?Almonds grow quite large with time (in the ground) and there is one that doesn't need a cross pollinator..a papershell I think? | About the Author SueBee SW Vic. 1st February 2017 9:27am #UserID: 15056 Posts: 93 View All SueBee's Edible Fruit Trees |
