Video - 3 Fruit Trees for Container Gardens

If you don't have enough land to have a real orchard, it can be a lot of fun and very rewarding to grow fruits, nuts, and berries in pots.This short video explains a few tips and three great varieties for growing in a "container orchard". By using dwarf varieties and grafting, you can grow your own fruit even in a small space. Some nuts will do fine in pots as well, figs are also great, and blueberries can work well as potted plants, although you will want to grow several as they will need to cross-pollinate with each other. You can also move the pots indoors in the winter if you live in a cold climate and are growing less hardy varieties.

Video - Growing Dwarf Fruit Trees In Containers

Here is another great one from Patti, The Garden Girl. If you think of fruit trees as something you can't grow because you don't have enough space, think again! Patti shows how she plants dwarf fruit trees in containers on her patio. It may still take a few years for them to start fruiting, but you really can grow some nice fruit even in a small space.

One thing that she doesn't cover in this video (although she does in another video), is that you must remember to drill plenty of drainage holes in the bottom of the container before filling and planting - otherwise your tree (or any other plant) will drown, so be sure to do this whenever you are planting anything in containers, if they don't already come with holes in the bottom.
