rooftopbklyn, thank you for the link.

I've been using them.

I think they work well for root production as they advertise, but plants dry out very fast, and because the container bulges it is very hard to repot without cutting the fabric off. for this reason I would recommend buying like 18 month pots. this allows you to just place the whole thing, pot and all into a new larger pot and the fabric will just decay away.

as for which ones. try http://www.greenerhydroponics.com/Gro-Pro-5-Gallon-Round-Grow-Bag-Tan-_p_79285.html

cheaper than any other decent fabric pot I could find. these are what I am using. they carry sizes from 1 to 400 gallons.

thank you Jeff Legere, Major gopher problem so I am thinking of putting some plants in grow pots and as in my original post I need to re pot a lime tree and fig trees , also yesterday i picked up a bare root apple sapling to replace my 40 year old tree that is dying from a bad attack of wooley apple aphids . i am thinking of containerizing the sapling. thanks for the link

I don't prefer fabric pots for plants with woody root-systems. I wouldn't pot a citrus or a fig in fabric.

Larger plants do become much harder to move around if you place them in fabric. imagine the damage to the root systems when you move a flexible container. consider a half barrel instead. you still get good drainage, gophers ignore potted plants, they don't dry out as fast, much easier to move around, much better looking.

There are hard sided alternatives if you want to boost the root system, look at some rootmaker pots. 5-gallon is the largest, but after this put it into a half barrel. I use these and I swear to you, the roots are amazing. The shape is better for most plants as they are wider rather than taller. They are also completely reusable.
