October 25, 2021Q.Patio Fruit Tree In Winter
Is it correct that you don't have to water my cherry and pear trees that are in patio pots during the winter, and should I wrap them up

Certified ExpertA.If you go for more than a couple weeks without precipitation, I would water them. You shouldn't need to wrap them unless you have sustained temperatures below freezing.

Worcester WR2 4DJQ.I’ve Had A Container Grown Stella Cherry Tree For 6 Years And Blossomed For First Time Last Year But It’s Never Fruited.
My ceramic container is only 14 ins x 14 ins. Dose it need a bigger container. I would have to smash the container now to remove it so has not to disturb the root ball. Can that be done now and what size container and compost would you recommend? Many thanks Liam Bond

Certified ExpertA.I do think that the container is just a bit small. You want to get as close to between 10 to 20 gallons as possible for the rootball to be happy. It will be ok to disturb the rootball. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Adding compost will be fine at potting up, and every 6 months to a year.
