- In this video I will show you my container grown fruit trees. See how my Avocados, Mulberry, Grapes, Starfruit, Citrus, Australian Finger Lime, Jujube, Loquat, Figs, Cherry of the Rio Grande, Guavas and several other tropicals are all doing as container grown fruit trees.
This is very organize and pretty setup. Great job!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I do my best to keep my yard organized and looking nice. Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard I love organized garden. Too many gardeners have their look like an untamed jungle
Very nice garden. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
wow! good job with your avocados! it's encouraging. thanks & stay awesome.
Thank you for visiting!
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing. I am doing container gardening too. I am so excited about what I am seeing Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.🙏
Welcome to the channel and thank you for subscribing! I’m happy to share my gardening journey. Best of luck with your gardening.

Yes!
Nice trees! Do you have videos of how you mix your soils for different trees? Thanks
Thank you! I have a few videos where I talk about the soil mix I use on various trees. Depending on the variety, I will try to get a mix that gives me a PH level that is required for that particular tree. I don’t have specific videos for each tree, but I do have a few where I talk about the soil mixes in general terms. You can search my channel for videos titled “Lychee 1st fruit set (AKA: Litchi or Lichi)” and “Hass Avocado Tree getting ready to flower”. There is also one titled “Lang and Li Jujube trees (AKA: Chinese Date) growing in containers and are starting to flower” which has a bit more detailed information. I hope this helps and thank you for watching.
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard thank you!
Are you worried about the meyer lemon and other trees in small containers becoming root bound? Do you ever root prune them?
Yes, especially the Meyer Lemon that is in a 22” round plastic container. It has been in that container for about 7 yrs. Although it is doing well (currently has a very heavy set of blooms) I do need to transplant to a larger container. All of my trees that are in round plastic containers, and grow bags, will eventually be up potted. The ones that are in the large wooden containers I’m not too worried about. I’ve had some of those in the same container for about 5 years and they have done well. Thank you for visiting!
Do you line your wooden containers with plastic etc to keep the wood from rotting or deteriorating? Fantastic orchard!
Yes, both the sides and bottom I line with plastic. On the bottom, before adding soil, I will also add a layer of lava rock and drill a few holes for drainage. Thanks for visiting!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard Thank you! I have experimented with livestock watering tanks made of galvanized metal. The outside stays perfect but the inside contacted with soil rusts something awful. I don't know if lining it would make a difference since it might also draw condensation between the plastic or not. I won't do that again. It looks good but nope. But I do like the look of your containers.
@@siarlbychan I’ve never tried the galvanize container’s. Thanks for sharing that info. Some of the containers in this video will be going on 4 yrs in a few more months, no issues so far. I am planning on building another one sometime next year. I’m going to coat the inside bottom and sides with epoxy resin. They have food grade resins so there should be no issues with any chemicals contaminating the soil. The plastic lining has worked fine, but I think the resin will extend the container life considerably.
Another 10a neighbor! Can't grow grapes, have dogs who may try to enjoy them, need to try pineapple guavas; have passion flower vines, four beautiful mango trees, two bananas, two orange, lime, pink grapefruit, four pomegranates, a moringa tree, black everbearing mulberry, and one Wurz avocado. I put the trees into the ground surrounding a house on a quarter acre. A dozen southern highbush blueberries in three varieties in six five gallon containers planted in miracle gro have been covered in rust since I bought them. Having great fun hoping for lots of fruit in Cape Coral, FL
Greetings! You have a very nice collection. I wish I had as much room as you do, lots of room for planting with a quarter acre. I just added a few more trees to my collection. I have another video that should be ready for posting soon. I'll show them in that video. I also have several trees that I just ordered and should be here soon. Running out of room for planting, but having lots of fun growing them. Best of luck with your trees and thank you for visiting!
Did you make or purchase your wooden containers? thk you
I couldn't find what I was looking for at the garden centers so I wound up building my own. They are slightly tapered and measure about 24" x 24". Thank you for visiting!
May I know where you bought your cherry of the rio grande?
I purchased it from a nursery in Vista, CA (California Tropical Fruit Trees). They have a good selection of quality fruit trees.
Hi,
Everything looks great. I’m growing in zone 10 also. Where do you get the 24” wood containers with wheels? I would like to replant some of my fruit trees in containers like yours.
I shopped around for some like that, but couldn’t find any. I wound up building them myself. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!
Are there any pest on avocado tree? Thanks
Yes, spider mites and some small caterpillars are the only 2 that I’ve encountered. They were easily eliminated by spraying some neem oil on the leaves. By the way, squirrels like avocados so if you have any in your area they might get to them as well.
Do you have problems with RATS?
Yes, they were feeding off the figs and grapes. I recently started using rat bait from the big box store. I mix some peanut butter with the bait and its been working well. Thanks for visiting!
💚💚💚
Thanks for visiting!
Beautiful. So calming to look at. The music is ambient. Your voice is soothing. This is what gardening is about.
Yes it is! It was a lot of work early on, but well worth the effort. Thank you for visiting and happy gardening!
Hi. I love the wooden containers! I hope you will make a video on how you made them.
I'm hoping to get that started later this season. Thank you for visiting!
My figs are all in 20-30 gallon grow bags. The pruning works for me to get more branches and figs.
Thank you for visiting!
Where to buy these beautiful containers for fruit trees or are in handmade? 🙏
I couldn't find wooden container from garden centers that I liked so I built them myself. Thank you for visiting!
If you feed your finger lime with fish and seaweed solution, when you water, you should get a good flush of new leaves.
I feed mine fruit trees in pots, with seaweed solution every time I water.
Feed your figs with lots of food, sheep or chicken pellets for fruiting. They are heavy feeders, plus feed seaweed solutions, every time you water.
Great garden 👍
Thanks for the info. Best of luck with your fruit trees and thank you for visiting.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with your crop. I'm in zone 10a also, and I can only hope my fruit trees will do as well once I get them. I've never seen grapes grown in that way- very cool!
My initial intent was to keep the grape vines in containers until I was ready to plant them in the ground (someday I plan on re-landscaping my front yard). They have done very well as container grown vines so I might leave them as they are. Best of luck with your garden and thank you for visiting!

In the same spot as you…love gardening and fruit trees, but dealing with SoCal limited backyard space. Love to see what unusual fruits grow well in 10a.
Yes, defiantly a challenge working with a small backyard. I still have a few more trees that I would like to add, but am running out of space. May need to add them as container grown fruit trees. Thank you for visiting!
Great video, beautiful garden!!! I’ve been planting a lot of fruit trees and am looking forward to picking fresh fruit. Even if you only have room for one container I encourage everyone to grow something!!!
Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more! Growing your own will give you better tasting and healthier fruit than anything you get from the store. And there is the added satisfaction of knowing that you grew it yourself. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your garden.
How do you keep it small
Beautiful orchard! Love the containers!
Thank you!
Sounds like you are describing muscadines the skin is edible it’s just tough, it has more nutrition then the grape itself😂
Yes, the muscadine varieties I am growing have tough skin. I was not aware of the skins nutritional value. Great info and thank you for visiting!
I'm fascinated at the variety of fruit you are growing. I'm curious to know if you built the wooden containers that you have planted in. I'm trying to figure out/plan my own small container fruit garden.
I did make those wooden containers. They have a 4 degree tapper, but roughly measure 24x24x24. I don’t have enough space in my backyard to plant all my trees so I had to grow some in containers. At first I was worried I wouldn’t get good fruit production, but they have done well. Some do better than others, but overall I’m satisfied with their growth/fruit production. I wish you the best of luck with your fruit garden and thank you for watching!
Do you have a video on how you made your wooden Planters?
@@ShaneAnnConnell Sorry, I don’t have a video on the wooden containers. I’m planning on building a few containers next season. I’ll document as much as I can and share on YT. Thanks for watching!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard Also interested in seeing this. Subbing for future videos!
@@lucasmoore602 👍
Wonderful and so very imformative. Also inspiring others to garden, who may not have a lot of land but have balconies,decks who never thought they could grow trees.
Thank you for your comments! Yes, there are many fruit trees that will do well growing in containers and will bear a good amount of fruit. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching!
First time looking at your channel.
What kind of fertilizer do you use? How often do you put it. And also what is the schedule for the water? Do you use automatic irrigation?
I have a few trees in containers and I’m struggling with them. They are not growing.
Welcome! I only use organic fertilizers. On the 1st seasons application, I use - Dr. Earth Flower Girl Premium Bud & Bloom Booster 3-9-4. After that, I will fertilize with other organic fertilizers with various N-P-K ratios that depend on the different variety of fruit trees. Generally, I fertilize at minimum of about 3 to 4 times during the growing season. With watering, potted trees with good draining soil need to be watered more often than those planted in the ground. As to how often and how much, that is a tough one to answer. A good practice is to push your finger through the surface soil about an inch or two. If it’s dry it is time to water. After doing that a few times you will be able to come up with a schedule to follow. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
I really appreciate your time.
Your yard looks so peaceful and beautiful .
Where can I buy those wooden containers?
I couldn't find containers I liked at my local nursery so I wound up making these myself. Thanks for watching!
What size are the containers? And where did you get them? Love your trees.
Thank you! The wooden containers measure about 24x24x24. They are tapered which works out to about 55 to 60 gal. I couldn't find what I was looking for at the garden store so I wound up building these myself. Thank you for visiting!
I live in zone 10b south Florida near Miami. Would the info apply to that area as well?
Most of the fruit trees I have should also do well in your area. There may be a few exceptions, but for the most part they should do well. In my area we don’t get freezing temperatures and from what info I could get via internet, your area is about to same - may even be slightly warmer. The good thing about container grown trees, especially young ones, is that they can be moved to a warmer area during winter for protection from the cold. Best of luck and thank you for watching!
where did you find those wooden containers?
Couldn't find what I wanted so I built the wooden containers myself. Thank you for visiting!
Beautiful garden ! Very impressive. Can you tell me the type of wood that you used to build the 24” planters?
Thank you! The large box planters are made from Redwood that I picked up from the big-box store. I used a pre stain wood conditioner then applied some Varathane Traditional Cherry wood stain. I also applied some Star Brite Teak Oil in order to seal and protect the finish. Thanks for visiting!
Love this video and your plants with beautiful containers , you have done a great job
Thank you!
Can someone please explain what exactly is painted on the trunks of some, I know it helps reflect the sun but paint, really ?
The paint product is called Tree Trunk White (found mine at Walmart). I’ve also used a thick mixture of Hydrated Horticultural Lime mixed with water. It works ok but does not last. There are other products you can find online, but for me the Walmart product is the most cost efficient. Thank you for watching!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard I appreciate the reply, I’m all the way in Perth, Western Australia so Walmart is no option but I do have horticulture lime. Cheers
Great tour! You have an admirable backyard container orchard!
Thank you for visiting. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Can you please share if the wheels on the planters work? Also where can I purchase?
Yes, the wheels do work. It makes it much easier moving them to a warmer place during the winter months. I could not find planters similar to these so I made them myself. Thank you for visiting!
Nice and healthy fruit trees.May I know what sort of potting mix and fertiliser you use in your avocado trees.Thanks from downunder Australia
Greetings! The soil mix I initially used for my avocado was a cactus soil mix I picked up from the big box store. I have since amended the soil so the mix is now Cactus soil mix, perlite, organic soil mix, peat moss and worm castings. The mixing ratio is about 2 parts cactus soil mix to 1 part of the rest. As for the fertilizer, I fertilize 3 times a year with a 4-5-4 organic fertilizer. I also give most of my container grown trees a top soil dressing once a year. If you haven’t already, please see my previously uploaded video titled “Hass Avocado Tree getting ready to flower”. Happy gardening and thanks for watching!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard thank you so much
Nice trees! Are those dwarf trees or they are normal trees?
I have to ice Cream bean trees in containers. Both were grown from seeds. So that means that’s It is going to have a huge size.
But, Is it posible to grow them in container?
Most of my trees are on regular root stock. I do have a few citrus trees that are on semi dwarf root stock. My Ice cream bean tree is on regular stock. I grew mine in a container for a little less than a year and it did well. I should mention that these trees are fast growing. I’ve had to prune mine several times since planting in the ground. Due to the fact that it is fast growing it would be best to plant it in the ground. If that’s not an option you might consider a large container. My Pakistan mulberry is also a fast growing tree and I’ve had mine in containers for over 4 years. It’s done really well and produces good sized crops. Best of luck and thank you for visiting!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard thanks so much!!!
Hi, where did you get those containers? Thanks.
Hello, the large wooden containers I made myself. Thank you for visiting!
Do you ever add microrhyzza to established containers
Yes, about once a year I will add some mycorrhiza on the top of the root ball. I then add a top soil mix which is a mixture of worm castings, peat moss, organic soil mix, small amount of chicken manure and azomite. Thank you for visiting!
Good advice. I've also grown avocados from seed, but without such success. Anyways, good job making the video! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Best way is to soak over night then throw them in a pot with soil.
I also have a fruit Orchard in Zone 10..
That’s great! We are fortunate not to have freezing temperatures in our area. On the downside, we don’t get too many chill hours. I’ve had a hard time finding a low chill Pluerry. Maybe Zaiger Hybrids will come up with one someday. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! Do you have to root prune?
I have not pruned any that are in the large wooden containers or the grow bags. Some of my trees that were transplanted from traditional round plastic pots did require root pruning. I have a fig tree growing in a large round plastic pot. It’s been in that pot for about 7 years. After this seasons harvest I plan on transplanting. It will be interesting to see if it will require root pruning. I’ll likely show the results in one of my future videos. Thanks for visiting!
Where can I get the wood box planter please?
I tried looking for some like these, but could not find any. I wound up making these myself. You might have better luck than I did and check with a local nursery in your area. Thank you for visiting!
Wow, loved your video. What state and what region are you at? Do you get snow where you're at? What do you do during the cold season?
Glad you enjoyed the video! I’m in southern California (San Diego county). Here in Zone 10a we don’t get snow. All of my fruit trees (once they are mature) don’t require much protection since we don’t get freezing temperatures, however; those that are still young I will move to an area closer to the house in areas that don’t get as cold. Thank you for visiting!
At what size your rio grande arrived to you?
I bought it nearly 5 years ago. I had a difficult time finding this variety. I finally found one at a nearby nursery, but they only had mature trees. It was about 9 ft tall and came in a 45/50 gal container. Way bigger than what I wanted. I prefer to buy in the 5 - 10 gal range because they are easier to plant and are more affordable. Thank you for visiting!
I am having a lot of problems growing in containers. What is the soil mix that you use and how do you maintain and fertilize? Beautiful plants by the way.
I have used several different soil mixes over the years, but generally they are all similar with only slight variations. Mostly I use cactus soil mix, peat moss, organic soil mix, worm castings, perlite and a few trace elements. I previously posted a couple of videos titled “Lang and Li Jujube trees (AKA: Chinese Date) growing in containers and are starting to flower” and another titled "Repotting my fruit tree" please search my channel. In those videos I talk more about the soil mix.
For fertilizer it depends on the type of tree, but generally I use liquid or granular organic fertilizers. And I only fertilize during the growing season (3 to 4 times). Some trees that are sensitive to fertilizer, like my mulberry, I only use liquid fertilizer like kelp and seaweed in small amounts once a year.
It’s difficult to say what is the best soil mix or fertilizer schedule since not all trees are alike. Some require specific needs while others thrive regardless. I hope the above info serves as a good guide. Also, most fruit trees do not do well when they are water logged. Be sure to check soil moisture level before watering. When I started container growing fruit trees that was one of the biggest problems I had (over watering). Now I use good draining soil and only water when top inch or 2 of the top soil is dry.
Thanks for visiting!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard Thank you so much
Phalsa berry is acquired taste , people love them who grow up eating them
For me add little bit spice ( chat masala) and mix it good , and then it’s finger licking good
I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!
Have you tried dwarf coconut tree in a pot?
I have not tried that one. I’m not familiar with growing coconut trees and I haven’t seen too many videos on them so I don’t know if they will do well in a container. Sorry I wasn’t much help.
Thanks for your videos. Did you ever make a video of building your containers?
Sorry, I still haven’t built any new containers. I had to postpone, but it is still on my to-do-list.
But you did build the ones that you have?
Yes. All of the wooden planters you see in my video I built myself. They are not too complicated, just very time consuming. The hardest part is figuring the angle cuts to create the tapered appearance (which is 4 degrees). The length of the top boards I started at about 2’ then reduced as I worked my way down. I have a miter saw which helped get precise angles and cuts, but it would be possible to make those cuts with a simple handsaw, so no real specialized tools are needed.
Where did you order jujube tree?
I purchased them form an online nursery, GrowOrganic.com. Thanks for visiting.
Good Evening
What brand containers did you use to grow your fruit’s tree 🌲
Thank you 😊
The fabric growbags are Vivosun brand. I got them off Amazon. Thanks for visiting!
What size bag is the 4 in 1 peach planted in? I have a peach tree that I'm not ready to plant in ground yet. Thank you.
That is a 15 gal growbag.
Where can I find those pots? ❤
The large wooden containers I made myself. The fabric grow bags were purchased online (amazon). Thanks for visiting!
Fantastic. Bro your settup is Beautiful.
Appreciate it!
Could I ask, at 18:00 in, what is the plant just to the left of the pot? I have one, but not sure what it is, and it hasn't fruited yet lol
@zone 10a Backyard Orchard
Greetings, at the 18:00 mark the plant to the left in the ground with the cage above is a cantaloupe. They have an aggressive growth habit so I used a tomato cage and allowed it to climb the cage. Thank you for visiting!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard lol I see what you are saying! I am talking about the cherry looking tree just to the right of that Cantaloupe! haha Thank you kindly for the quick reply though brother! Much love.
Sorry about that, hope I get it right this time. The tree to the right of the cantaloupe is a Surinam Cherry tree. I previously posted a video on it’s first fruiting cycle. You can search my channel for the video titled "Star Surinam Cherry (Pitanga Eugenia), AKA Brazilian Cherry Tree setting fruit for the first time." Take care and happy gardening!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard thanks friend!
Where are the containers from
I made the large wooden containers. The large plastic containers were purchased from big box store. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing! What soils do you use?
Mostly cactus soil mix, organic mix, worm castings, peat moss sand and a few other elements (most can be found at the big box store). I recently posted a video titled “Repotting my fruit tree”. I generally use the soil mix and repotting method I talk about in that video for most of my fruit trees. Thanks for visiting!
For my Li Jujube which has been in a 30 gallon container for 3 years, I let a branch of rootstock grow which flowered for months. that was the first time that I got a ton of fruit. I also have a few other varieties grafted and i got several on that one (Ant Admire) small branch (that I grafted last year).
I’ve read that some varieties will do very well if you allow a rootstock to grow and flower, just as you did. I’ve been cutting mine off, but might give it a try once my tree is ready to be up potted. Thank you for the info!
Thanks for this video, I was gifted 2 huge pots and looking to put fruit trees in them.
I'm happy to share my experience growing fruit trees in containers. I wish you the best of luck with your gardening. Thank you for visiting!
I love all of your fruit trees!!
Thank you!
❤This is a very helpful video and a good encouragement to start container gardening. Thanks for sharing. I have also shared it with my colleagues.
Thank you, much appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. Thank you for visiting!
What do you use as fertilizer?
The majority of my trees get a Kellogg Organic Plus 4-5-4 Fruit Tree fertilizer. There are a few other fruit trees that require different NPK ratios or other supplemental nutrients, but all are organic.
Hello, how do you make sure the soil does not sink over the years in the very big containers?
Yes, over time the soil level will drop if left alone. What I do to avoid this is I add a top soil dressing after the first year of being transplanted. After that I repeat the process about every 2-3 years. By doing so it replenishes the soil with added nutrients and keeps the soil level from dropping. If you haven’t done so, please check one of my previously uploaded videos titled “My 1st harvest off a Mexicola Avocado tree growing in a container.” In that video I talk about how I make and apply my top soil dressing. At some point in the future I will likely make a video with more detail on this subject. Thank you for watching!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard thank you, will watch:)
How often do you water your containers? I have two trees in 15 gallon containers now. I water them twice a week. I always wonder if that is too little or?
There are several variables to consider such as type of tree (deciduous, evergreen, drought tolerant, etc.) climate and type of soil just to name a few. I’ve found that the best way to gauge the watering needs is to physically check it. I’ll stick my finger into the soil about an inch and a half or 2. I’ll water if it’s dry at that depth. Once you’ve done that a few months you will have a better idea when to water. With my container trees I usually water once a week during cooler months then increase to about twice a week during the hotter months (we don’t get too many of those in my area). Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WITH ALL THE GOLFERS, WISH I WOULD HAVE USED EXPENSIVE CONTAINERS YEARS AGO.. I LOVE THE CEDAR FENCE,, MIND IF I AS THE COMPANY THANK YOU
The company that installed the fence is called Balboa Fence Company. They did a great job! Thank you for visiting!
I really adore your garden, so neat and pretty. I have no garden and I want to grow my jujube in container like yours. I have just purchased 1 jujube tree and it has tiny fruits and lots of flowers in a small pot (20cm pot). Should I put it in a bigger pot or should I wait till it dormant. Can you please tell me what’s kind of potting mix I need for jujube tree? How big is the pot should I need?
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and helpful information 😍
Thank you! I would wait until the tree is dormant before transplanting and I would go to about a 10 or 11 inch container. When growing in a container it’s best to only go up 1 or 2 sized pots each time you transplant. As for the type of soil, please search my channel for a video titled “Lang and Li Jujube trees (AKA: Chinese Date) growing in containers and are starting to flower.” I talk about how I transplanted them.
What a nice collection of fruit trees. Greetings from San Diego zone 10b!
Greetings! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for visiting!
Great video! What size wood planter are you using?
They roughly measure 24x24x24 with a 4 degree tapper \ /. Thank you for visiting!
It's exactly the container I am looking for with wheels in it. And looks like you have some tropical fruit--what zone you are in?
Yes, I do have several tropical fruit trees. I am in zone 10a. Thanks for visiting!
Great video thank you. What is the soil mixture?
Generally, I use cactus soil mix, peat moss, organic soil mix, worm castings, perlite and a small amount of chicken manure. I also mix in some azomite and sprinkle some mycorrhiza on top of the root ball and any exposed side roots when planting. I previously uploaded a video titled “Lang and Li Jujube trees (AKA: Chinese Date) growing in containers and are starting to flower”. In that video I talk a little more about the soil mix. Thanks for watching!
Very good ideas. Thanks

How do you make these?
👍
Where do you get your containers? 😊
The large wooden containers I made myself. The large round plastic containers I purchased at Costco and the smaller growbags I found on Amazon. Thanks for visiting!
How may gallons are your wooden pots and where do you get them
I couldn't find the type of containers I wanted at the big box stores so I wound up making these. They are tapered, but the rough measurements are 24 inches all around. That works out to be around 60 gallons. I’ve had several viewers express interest on them. I need to build a few more so I will likely document the build process for a future video upload, just in case someone would like to try and build one. Thank you for visiting!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard I have these big baskets that are generally for "laundry " but they say 17 gal on it but they look almost as big as your pots but.they can't be if they are only 17 gal..I thought they were big enough to keep my fruit trees in even as they get bigger but if yours are 60gal the those aren't nearly big enough.
They are 21 inches in diameter
If they are 21 inches all around then they are about 40 gallons. Here is how to calculate the gallons: There are 231 cubic inches in 1 US Gal. To calculate cubic inches you would multiply the width by the length by the depth. A 21 x 21 x 21 inch container would come out to about 40 gallons.
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo que je découvre à l'instant. Je cultive aussi en pots des fruitiers.

Thank you!
May I ask what kind of mulch you use for the Star fruit tree?
I use medium size bark that I get from the big box store. It doesn’t specify what type of bark. It simply lists that it contains “Natural Forest Product”. I also give my container grown trees a top soil dressing once a year. If you haven’t already please check out a video I uploaded to my channel titled “My 1st harvest off a Mexicola Avocado tree growing in a container". In that video I talk about how I top soil dress most of my container grown trees.
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard Love your videos. I just planted the june plum in a 10 gallon pot and now the tree is drooping like its dying. Do you know if this is normal?
Some trees will go through a little transplant shock. I would give it some B-1 Vitamin (liquid form) and make sure it is properly watered. Also, if planted in direct sunlight, I would give it a little protection from the sun with a shade cloth. Be sure to keep a close eye on it. Hopefully, you will see signs of recovery within a few days. I hope this helps. Best of luck and let me know how it does.
Please sir, what type of soil do you use for your plant container ?
I have used several different soil mixes over several years. Generally, for my fruit trees I use a mix that is well draining. I live in an area that has mild summers compared to other parts of the country so water retention is not as critical like it might be for someone living in areas that get much hotter summers. The mixes I use are cactus soil mix, peat moss, organic soil mix, worm castings, perlite and a small amount of chicken manure. I also mix in some azomite and sprinkle some mycorrhiza on top of the root ball and any exposed side roots when planting. If you haven’t already seen my previously posted video titled “Lang and Li Jujube trees (AKA: Chinese Date) growing in containers and are starting to flower” please search my channel. In that video I talk more about the mixing ratio. Thanks for visiting!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard thank you for replying to me I really appreciate it. I live in Southern California I think I'm in 10b zone so I don't really know that kind of fruit tree I can plant in a container

Whichever nursery you buy fruit trees from will be able to tell you what zones they are compatible with. You should also try to find out how many chill hours your area gets. I live in a low chill area (about 100 to 200 chill hours) so when I buy deciduous fruit trees I have to buy low chill trees. You might be able to find your chill hours via google search or at fruitsandnuts.ucdavis.edu/chill-calculator. Good luck!
Save the trees
indeed.
