FRUIT TREES THAT GROW WELL IN CONTAINERS
Not all fruit trees will grow well in containers for long periods of time. If you want to grow a fruit tree in a container for just a couple of years, then you can grow just about any fruit tree. However, if you want to grow a fruit tree in a container for its entire life, then you may want to try some of the fruit trees listed below. The size of container plays a factor in what you can or can't grow. Generally, you will want to use a container that measures 18 - 24 inches wide and about the same depth. Larger containers can be used as well. Wine barrels cut in half are often used. It really doesn't matter the material of the container as long as there is adequate drainage. Some of the fruit trees that can be grown well in containers are dwarf meyer lemons, dwarf kumquats, dwarf eureka lemons(will require regular pruning), genetic dwarf nectarines, genetic dwarf peaches, and some of the dwarf apples(varieties on the Mark and M-27 rootstocks only grow 8-10 feet). Also, pineapple guavas, chilean guavas, or strawberry guavas can be grown successfully in containers. Other dwarf citrus may do okay in large containers with regular pruning.
