_Buying Dwarf Fruit Trees & Fruit Trees for Containers

"Buying dwarf fruit trees today is easy" due to the ready availability of container-grown plants. There are many species, and different varieties of these species, on the market.

First point to consider: -Will the plant I've selected go the distance? Will it last? Or will I have to replace it in a year or three? Pecan trees, for example, often offered for sale in large containers, only last short term. They generally don't have a long lifespan. Root growth is fast, and constricting these will simply cause the tree to wither and die.
Naturally, we can re-plant into an even larger pot as soon as the roots have filled the container. Sure we can. But this is not really the object of the exercise. The fruit trees we choose are intended to spend years producing leaves, flowers, and fruit on our patio or balcony. We want long term. It'd be a shame if they had to be removed after the first harvest because they'd become just too large.


This is why only very slow-growing trees and bushes should be selected.


Buying Dwarf Fruit Trees from Specialists

When buying dwarf fruit trees it's a good idea to seek advice from Garden center staff or nursery people in your area. They'll know what's grow-able. And take a good look at the labels on the plants. Certified stock is clearly specified as such. In addition to the variety, (for example, the apple "Delicious') the stock will also be indicated.

You intend to buy your plants by mail-order or Internet purchase? Make sure you use reputable growers; specialists - otherwise disappointments could result. Note though, that many specialist nurseries advertise in gardening magazines and websites that are sold nationwide. The young plants you receive will look much like the beautiful flowering specimens depicted in the catologue and, on the whole, these plants will be quite usable.

They will recover quickly after being unpacked and re-potted. Moreover, after a period of adapting, to local conditions, they'll probably look terrific. Specialist growers who operate a well-established mail order service will, in all probability, be experienced in packing and dispatching plants so that they arrive in your hands in good condition. So mail order is fine.

The advantages of ordering stock this way can far outweigh the convenience of purchasing, perhaps from the inferior selection provided in your local garden centre. For example, trees bearing cross mixes of two fruits, such as Pepinos (pear-melons) and new cultivars like Sweet Cherries that remain small, are often only available by mail order.


Buying Dwarf Fruit Trees What to Look For!


Slow Growing Fruit Trees (Dwarf Trees)

Picture
In buying dwarf fruit trees at a specialist nursery you're guaranteed that the fruit tree is grafted onto rootstock of the desired variety. It may be a slow-growing cultivar, or even a vigorous growing seedling.

Specialists at nurseries will have grafted shoots or buds of particular varieties onto this stock. The grafting point can be seen quite clearly where the stem looks thickened. Naturally, the stock will have a very significant influence on the growth of the tree.

Grafting onto a seedling, which serves as the stock , will create a more vigorously growing tree than grafting onto selected dwarfing root-stock. This means that only very slow-growing cultivars, which are clearly marked, should provide the answer your seeking for growing those plants in your pots or containers. You want slow-growers.

Buying Dwarf Fruit Trees VarietiesMany varities are available these days and most fruit trees can be found in their miniature form. If Dwarf varieties are unavailable, choose the slow growers.Example: in Apples, the slow-growers are called Ballerinas. They're very suitable.

Pomegranate, Peach trees, and soft bushes, naturally remain quite small. Also fruit trees, such as Figs, Citrus and Olive are ideally suited for large containers.

Mini Citrus Trees

Picture
Welcome to Miniature Citrus Trees for small space gardeners.

Even before the beginnings of known history we humans had been chomping on delicious fruits found in the wild.   As far as we know, this happened all over the place.   As time progressed we began want something less random.   
We sought security of food supply.   Just collecting wild fruit as one came across it was no longer good enough.  
We desired to harvest at our leisure.   Moreover, we aspired to fruit in abundance when we wanted it, not just at the precarious whims of Nature. 
  So we started to plant trees where we wanted them to be.  Moreover, we began to change the trees (including miniature citrus trees), creating our own designs, our own species of fruits.
It didn’t happen overnight.   The changes came about slowly, methodically.   We collected various seeds, watching and taking note of what eventuated.

Grow Dwarf Avocado Tree

Dwarf Avocado Tree?    Is it possible?   You bet it is!
Many people steer away from growing avocados in small places and that’s no surprise.   You’ve seen how big those trees can grow!   Even with a full size garden they seem to take up the whole yard. 

There is an answer. You can grow a dwarf species, or prune your bigger variety tree to stay at 2 meters high.  Yes, and still grow fruit.    Many farmers now keep their avocado tree small as it means they can walk through their plantation and pick that scrumptious fruit by hand.
