Care of Fruit Trees
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.

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.

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.
