Hi: Anyone raising fruit trees in a pot. My question is, what do you use for white flyes and plant food to get a better crop. wa5ghr wa5ghr@sbcglobal.net

Need to tell us what type trees your trying to grow. Are these miniture trees? No full sized fruit tree can stay in a pot, it's going to be root bound. To get any fruit your going to need more then one so they can cross pollinate. http://www.umaine.edu/publications/2411e/This message has been edited. Last edited by: joecaption,

Well wa5ghr its depends on what kind of fruit species you are growing in a pot. Ideally it will better to plant fruit plants instead of fruit trees. I am having strawberry in my home pots, best for indoors, need some compost like tomato feed, kitchen leftover, etc..so avoiding chemical fertilizers!
I am growing a mex lime and a lemon tree in a large pot. I am also haveing trouble with I think are black mites. Have not had any budding on the lime yet, have tried to pollinate the lemon with a paint brush with no results.
