Dwarf Washington Navel Tree

17 years ago

Hi,

I have a dwarf washington navel tree, bought it from Home Depot about a year ago. I believe it's grafted onto flying dragon root stock. Anyway, living in Maryland, I am growing this tree indoors and want to pick a pot for it, I believe it's gotten too big for the 14" pot it is in now. What is a good size container for this type of tree? I'm sure it will have to be a rather large container but I don't want to go bigger than I have too. The tree is about 3 feet tall and about 1 - 2 years old.

Thanks,

Kevin

Most would probably recommend an 18" pot. I myself would be tempted to go ahead and use a well-draining 24" pot. This tree produces large fruit and needs to be able to grow a little.

Thank you so much! 24" it is! It's a little bigger than I wanted to go but I have read that the fruit is nearly full size so I want it to have plenty of room for the roots to grow! What will happen when the root ball fills the entire pot? Do I have to trim the roots back or will they just stop growing?
