FLAVOURSOME FRUIT GROWING IN CONTAINERS

CONTAINER FRUIT GET GROWING

You can pretty much grow any fruit you like in a container – so if you have a hankering to grow a peach or even a pineapple, don’t let socalled experts like me try and put you off. The only limit is your imagination and, crucially, the amount of time and effort you will have to devote to your prized specimen. Some fruit is undoubtedly much easier to grow in a container than others, so be realistic at the outset about the amount of care and attention you are willing to give.

Some plants will need watering twice a day in the summer months, fleecing when frost is due, and a careful eye given to feeding in order to get good crops. Others will fare quite well on a much less intense regime, so choose wisely and you are more than halfway to your goal.

Before we go on to consider some specific fruit that should be towards the top of anyone’s list of patio fruit, there are some general rules which apply to just about all container-grown plants.
