Care Tips for Container Fruit Trees
Watering & Root Systems
Since fruit trees in pots rely entirely on their container, caring for their root systems is crucial.
- Check soil moisture about an inch below the surface.
- Water deeply but avoid waterlogged soil to prevent root rot.
- Ensure pots have good drainage holes to protect root systems.
Fertilization & Fruit Production
Proper feeding is vital for healthy fruit production and to help trees bear fruit consistently.
- Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed for fruit trees.
- Fertilize during the growing season, typically spring and early summer; avoid late feeding that may cause vulnerable new growth.
