Fruit nut tree suggestions for 12 gallon containers
Comments (3)Thanks for the reply. At the moment I actually have Southmoon and Jubilee Blueberry plants in these 12 gallon containers. However since learning more about container gardening this summer I have deemed these plants to be "overpotted"(I transplanted from #2 containers just two months ago.) My other blueberry plants (Earliblue, duke, chandler, elliot) originally in #1 containers I transplanted into #3 containers....See MoreFruit or nut tree birds leave alone
Comments (7)We have planted Apricot trees at two of the places we have lived. The first time they bore fruit, the birds cleaned them out before we could pick any. The following year we wrapped bird netting around the tree and were able to enjoy the fruits.

Comments (4)I grow a couple of varieties of figs, I grow bananas (and get fruit) I have a couple of types of satsumas, I have meyer lemons, I have moro blood oranges, sweet kumquats, I grow pomegranets, I grow tunas from various types of opuntias, I grow papayas as annuals (get fruit) and last year I grew a few pineapples in containers. I also have a brogdon avocado tree and I am presently looking for both a mexicola and a gainsville avocado (I will produce many more fruit with cross pollination) I also grow maypops, blackberries, blue berries and have grown kiwis. Oh yeah loquats too....See MoreRecommendations for Fruit & Nut Yard Trees
Comments (1)Illinois Everbearing mulberry - fast-growing, will make a great 'shade tree' in just a few years, makes a nice climbing tree for kids, and produces lots of top-quality tasty berries for about 6 weeks in early summer. Few pests - but you'll have to battle the birds for the berries. Shagbark hickories have multi-season interest - big buds that look like tulips when they're unfolding, neat exfoliating bark, and warm golden fall color - and tasty nuts, if a bit tough to crack. Northern pecan makes a great shade tree - but there need to be 2 or 3 varieties or seedling trees in the area to get decent crops of nuts. Heartnut(J.ailantifolia var cordiformis) makes a great wide-spreading, almost tropical-looking tree, and the nuts are tasty, if a bit bland, for my taste. Persimmons - American, Asian, and hybrids are all low-care/no-spray. Check out Nolin River Nut Tree Nursery and England's Orchard & Nursery websites for good candidates....See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
