Benedict T. Palen, Jr - Fruits That You Can Grow In Pots

Most of today’s fruit cultivars and modern rootstocks generate smaller bushes and trees, and are geared towards smaller gardens. Choose varieties suggested for growing in pots, and give them the very best chance by placing your pots in the best possible spot – most fruits flourish in sunshine.

Fruit trees, plants and shrubs grown in pots will need watering and feeding more frequently than those planted in the ground. Keep your fruit in pots well watered and fed, and you will soon be harvesting your own appetizing crops.

• Blueberries require acidic soil, which is simple to offer in a pot. They also have attractive fruits and flowers, and good-looking autumn leaves. Give them a protected, sunny spot and water with rainwater instead of tap water if possible. Guard the ripe fruits from birds.
• Cherries bear masses of bloom in spring, plus summer fruits and often bright leaf color in autumn. Sweet varieties need sun, while sour varieties, tolerate more shade. They are shallow rooted, so water well in their first year and when there is any dry spells.
• Blackcurrants are nice-looking plants and the flowers are valuable to bees. Mix a several handfuls of stones into the compost and place in full sun. To persuade plants to develop shoots from the base, plant them deep, about 6cm below the soil mark of the actual container.
• Guava tree will amuse you with its sweetly scented flowers, tasty fruits, and gorgeous tropical appearance. Guava loves the sunny and warm coverage. It is a tropical plant but very much adjustable to temperate climates with moderate winter.
• All the citruses and oranges can be grown in pots as they are rather small trees or large shrubs. If you reside in a climate where winters are mild, these fruits are easy to grow. But, you can still grow an orange tree in a cold climate with care in winter.
• Watermelons are simple to grow in pots; all they need is good support and well-drained potting soil. Growing watermelon is same like cucumber.
• As figs are most appropriate for warm temperate regions, it is best to develop a fig tree in a pot if you reside in a climate where winters are harsh, or you do not have adequate space. Choose a suitable variety to grow in a pot and offer plenty of sun to your plant. Regular fertilization and pruning are essential.
• Pomegranate is one of the healthiest and juiciest fruits and possibly the easiest to grow in pots as it has a shallow root system when compared to other large fruit trees. If you have grown citrus in a pot, growing pomegranates in containers cannot be challenging for you too. Additionally, pomegranate is easy to grow.
