Michele starts with ... Hi - just want to know how large a dwarf fruit tree will grow if planted directly into garden instead of a pot? I have a lemonade tree that we were given but would prefer a larger tree but not too large. How close together can you plant normal size trees as I would also like to get some other fruit trees in the future and plant around near fenceline but concerned about space. Can I just prune them to size once they get larger or should I use dwarf trees if they grow larger than in a pot but not as large as regular size fruit trees? ...thanks! | About the Author Michele Raymond Terrace 25th July 2009 8:44pm #UserID: 2111 Posts: 4 View All Michele's Edible Fruit Trees |

Vanessa says... In the ground dwarf fruit trees will be under 2mts, try to take out the main leader stem in the middle and it will open the tree to a vase shape then just tip prune the outer branches. Within 18mths from planting you could have upto 50 lemonades. Make sure you mulch around it and feed with Seasol pouring the mixture over the whole tree. Also i spray white oil to keep the sucking insects away. Get the juicer on standby! | About the Author Vanessa South East Qld 27th July 2009 3:57pm #UserID: 1653 Posts: 5 View All Vanessa's Edible Fruit Trees |
