the greenhouse is to extend that season! it really is short here
25 gallons is crazy!! People grow them in hardware store buckets and get fruit
All mine are in 15 gallon pots and pump out fruit every year. Any heavier and I wouldn’t be able to move them inside during the winter without a crane
I don’t move them! I build and remove a hoophouse over them haha
How often do you root-prune?
You’ll need to root prune them eventually if they’re in pots. I’d imagine that would be a pretty… involved… process with a pot larger than 20 gallons. Definitely still doable, but you might find a 20 gallon pot a good middle ground
EDIT: Heh, Richard beat me to it
I haven’t had to yet, but the plan is every 3-4 years.
it’s 4-5 ft. between the trees. the rows are farther apart.
I get more figs than I can eat. The distance between the trees has nothing to do with production.
