January 25, 2011Q.Container Grown Dwarf Fruit Trees
I want to buy several dwarf fruit trees to grow in containers (apples, cherries, peaches, nectarines, pears, grapes and bramble berries and strawberries). What size containers do I need for them and what do I have to do for them regularly to keep them healthy? I live in eastern Tennessee, Zone 7, and will not be able to bring them in for the winter, but I can put many bales of hay around the containers for insulation. I don't want to plant them in the ground until I can get a place where I know I won't move from.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, spring would be the best time. There is normally more rainfall and lower consistent temps at that time and so the trees have a better chance of establishing.

March 31, 2011Q.Planting Dwarf Fruit Trees
Is it ok to plant into a container now, then later transplant into the garden, say later this spring, fall, or next year? I have just received some dwarf cherry and peach fruit trees and the ground has been and still is too wet to work up at this time.

Certified ExpertA.Apple, pear, peach and nectarine would all grow where you are. Be sure to choose varieties that are cold hardy for your area. Apple and pear will mostly be good for your area, but peach and nectarine, you will need to double check their hardiness as there are some that are cold hardier than others.
