PUT THEM IN POTS
You can grow dwarf fruit trees in pots if the best spot for them is on a balcony, deck or in a courtyard. Choose a large pot, at least 50cm in diameter, that drains. Use quality po ing mix and, when watering, thoroughly soak the mix so there are no air pockets around the root system and the roots don’t dry out. Feed with a fertiliser specific for your tree type.
