- I am preparing to plant some drawrf Citrus and fruit trees into pots.
- I often hear that plants should be replanted into pots only several
- inches larger than the last pot. Is this manadatory?
-
- I would rather plant these trees into their permanent container, and let
- them grow into it. It seems planting into a larger container could not be
- worse than planting into the ground where there is unlimited room for
- root growth.
-
- Does anyone know if going straight to 25-27" pot for a freshly planted
- bareroot drawrf will hurt the plant in a substantial way?
