Container Gardening: Bare Root Cherry Tree

[bigbuggie5]

Can you grow Ranier Cherries in containers then put them in the ground a few years later? (I'll be renting for 2-3 years and plan on buying a home after. I would like my cherry trees to get a head start since it takes a few years for them to fruit)

She a too main stream. Fake. She's a walking television robot.

I hate people like that.

[1stsmosh]

been over a year....hows the cherry tree doin?

[JesusACruz64]

According to the Stark Brothers every fruit product they hold is difficult to grow in my area.

I have a Small Patio Garden And Im trying to grow Broccoli, Brussels, And Cabbage I have them In Flower Pots though Will the vegetables Have Enough room to grow in those smaller Pots ?

If you want to see nice red cherry and green leaf color check out my cherry trees I have, check my video on Youtube to see.

[steelyman40]

Brilliant.

[KTyson40]

Great Idea Patti!!!

[BellumSacrumBellum28]

Ever grow cherry trees starting from seeds? What sort of weather do they thrive in?

[OS253]

Cherry trees get really large. Why would anyone plant it in a container? The roots will break thru the container.

[radialvelocity]

@OS253 It depends on the rootstock. If it's on colt or gisela 5 rootstock, then the tree will remain small.

What happens in the winter where it is above ground? Does cold damage a container plant

[jmcext]

You failed to point out that the graft union of the cherry tree needs to be planted above the soil level. You did that, but important to make sure you do so you don't have scion rooting and lose the rootstock characteristic if dwarfing.

[indigoangelito]

Hi Patti, I loved the video! The only question that you didn't address is that if the cherry tree is in a container and you water it, since it doesn't have drainage holes, will that rotten the roots? and how much water do we give it and how often. I'm sorry I am a new gardener and would love to know more and your videos have helped me greatly at getting started. Thank you for sharing your passion.

[mamacita808]

I really liked this video! Thanks Patti

[ainemacdermot]

What garden zone are you gardening in, Patty? That would be helpful to know.

[jouanlychen]

does anyone know if the fruit tree does well in a plastic container, terra cotta or galvanized container?

[kokonutbaby1]

looks like she's using a galvanized trash can in the video...i think she has another video on putting in drainage holes in the bottom of it.

Fun to watch!

Lovely ideas, as usual Patti.

[mrsengeseth]

do the potted fruits come in during the winter?

[cwaj]

Awesome.

I think ya failed to mention that ya need to drain holes in the bottom for drainage....

I know this, but the beginner might not.

No holes will geow mold.

I have some peppers planted next to each other. I think they cross pollinated, and I have a new pepper.....lol

Great Video!!!!!!!!!!

[GardenGirltv]

I made a seperate video for drainage holes, marked it as a response and mentioned it in text about this video. I hope that helps. Thanks for the support!

[indigoangelito]

sorry I guess I should have read all the comments first. Haha But about the watering I would still love to get a response on how much and how often and if they need to be in shade or full sun. thanx Patti!

[dogpup23]

Do you know how old those trees are?

[etisful]

Could you tell me if you keep the cherry tree outside in the winter? And if you do what kind of temperature can they withstand? Thanks, love your videos!

[WanderingGnome]

I love the garbage can idea. I have seen people stack old rubber tires to make a container too.

[SILVERTINKER4578]

:) kind look like one of my friend in one of the pictures :) love the vid

[xoxoxSTARxoxox]

Do you need to drill drainage holes?

[GardenGirltv]

Drainage hole video is a response here. Thanks!

[Cutchswife]

Great vid Patty :) Who knew you could use a garbage can to plant trees.

[shebacupcake]

you are so smart and self sustainable,,you have a lucky family,,and thanks for sharing! ♥

[theproducegarden]

great video!

[pamlyn]

This is definitely going on my garden to-go list for Spring 2010. Thanks Patti

[yesinia]

This is Awesome.. Love it!!!

[marycozzens]

my tomatoes are growing in an old kitchen garbage can, with a few small holes cut with a knife near the bottom for drainage. So, I am growing tomatoes, and now I take the garbage out more often, since there's only one bin left in the kitchen. it's all good.

[grof2]

excellent.

[utubepunk]

Don't forget the Super-Thrive! It'll help the plant recover from the shock of transplant.  It's organic, too!

[Adams116]

like the shirt!

[IntrovertedLady]

Patty,

We are loving your videos! You give us such great ideas and, more importantly, you show in detail how to get the job done! Thanks, Jeanne (formerly "BalletTwirl")

[nikki4612]

Patty - Good video. I just planted a Meyer lemon in a container. I put it on a small platform with wheels so I can bring it into the garage when the temperature drops below freezing. Also lets me roll it under the patio cover if it's getting too much rain.

Thanks again for the great videos

That is fantastic! We just planted a pear tree and need another variety to get fruit. Spring thinking already, and it isn't even Autumn.......

[capecodcuda]

i planted a couple pineapple tops in a small 10 gallon container & placed it under my down spot to help me with watering it.

[zeroelliott4146]

I have got to try this! I wonder if the trees will grow well in different sized garbage cans.

[Nuru305]

What mix did you to plant your tree in and did you have to add any extra minerals to the soil. This is great thanks so much for posting.

[MyLittleGreenThumb]

how long can the trees stay in the trash cans? will they become root bound?

[pgm98387]

Patty,

Thanks for sharing! I never would have thought to use a meatal trash can!

You can move it around, even take it with you if you have to relocate! Very smart!

[Praxxus55712]

Stark Brothers sells great trees. I ordered cherry, pear and apple from them and the trees grew amazingly well compared to the crap trees I bought from Gurney's Nursery. Love your garbage can idea. :)

[RCvolunteer1978]

i have Fellowed your show for about 18 months I have enjoyed it greatly but here in florida it has not been good for gardening to hot dry out plants then flood them the next day plus the animals that just will not leave my plants alone

[proteanview]

Great stuff. I never thought of growing them in a container.

[Accune]

Thanks I was curious about cherry trees.

[fireriver29]

Pretty garbage can hum? Excellent tip!

[joewilder]

Well constructed video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[itsjustbrandy]

Awesome idea! Where do you put it in the winter though? Wouldn't it freeze in temperatures below zero?

[MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars!

[colliertng]

Patti, You always make Fantastic Videos!

[Aiden057]

good luck ith the trees! Nice video, you keep getting better and better. My compliments to your camera, sound and editor.

[justmom66]

Dosent there need to be some sort of drainage in that can? Just currious. I know when I do my potatoes in 30 gallon plastic trash cans I have to cut drainage holes.
