I go off the deep end too. I sure understand.

My main comment is that Pawpaws are a deep taprooted plant. While I have kept several very small ones alive in pots for a couple years, they are just treading water waiting to go to someone in trade. They will never thrive and grow in a pot no matter how big. Even my little ones have sent a tap root out the bottom that I will have to snip off when they move on. But pawpaws are very hard to bring to life from dormant bare root so small pot now is my only option.

good luck with all your fun stuff.

For all of your berries, you want to check and make sure you got self pollinating varieties or got two varrieties of each that are good polinators for each other.

For blueberries, you will need to make sure you keep the soil acidic or you won't get much in the way of berries.

My blueberries did great in containers though so I think you will be fine with them as long as the soil stays acidic.

sjkly,

I have been using an organic potting soil safe for food use, but haven't even considered the PH levels. I am going to check the soil ph level and adjust if necessary.

Do you know of any simple home remedies to increase soil acidity? Maybe some used coffee grounds?

Thanks!

Pinc06,

Thanks a lot for that comment. The pawpaws have been ordered, but not delivered and planted yet, so I am going to find two really deep pots (the type often used as a decorative pot with long bamboo or something sticking out). Hopefully this will allow more room for the tap roots. I can always bury the bottom half of the pot...

Thanks!

L...you are getting some good advice! On the blueberries...gardening/soil sulphur is good to increase acidity. Also, camelia fertilizer and adding vinegar to the water helps temporarily. GL

Your Peach trees are probably going to need to be sprayed to help keep Peach Leaf Curl at bay.Either Copper or something with Chlorothalonil in it,I used the Bonide brand on a Nectarine and just a little PLC is showing.
Peat moss will help acidify the planting mix for Blueberries and the Pawpaws.
A simple framework or trellis can be made for the brambles,maybe something circular and fixed in the potting mix for the canes to be wrapped onto.
Here is also a video about keeping the Mulberry at a manageable size. Brady

My peach trees have to be sprayed with a fungicide a few times per year. copper is what i use, but there are others you can use to combat PLC (Peach leaf curl)

Blackberries and raspberries can do well in pots as well. I keep some in 3-5 gallon pots although for long term use bigger the pot the better.
