Certified ExpertA.Almost any dwarf, and super-dwarf variety of any fruit will grow in container, as long as you have the proper conditions for it. There are many standard fruits that will grow in container as well, though, such as citrus and oddities such as coffee and cocao.
As long as you have the environment, and choose a dwarf variety, you can find just about anything that will do well in container.

November 6, 2018A.This is more than likely a fungal issue, rather than an insect problem. I would apply wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime to the area to treat this problem. To treat the leaf curl, refer to this article. This article is for peaches, but since they are closely related, then the treatments will be similar: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-leaf-curl.htm

November 11, 2018A.You may not be able to correct the adverse conditions without changing the water source or desalinating your well water.
Improving soil organic matter content can help a little. Use plenty of compost for planting and mulching,

January 5, 2019A.That's not much information to go on. What kind of trees? What are the growing conditions? What do you do for fertilization and watering?
Lack of fruit development is usually related to soil fertility and complete plant nutrition, and adequate soil moisture provided with deep watering during the growing season.

March 13, 2019A.Extreme pruning, more than 25% reduction is harmful. It's better to choose dwarf varieties that are more in scale with your your garden.
