like the shirt!
Don't forget the Super-Thrive! It'll help the plant recover from the shock of transplant. It's organic, too!
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.
This is Awesome.. Love it!!!
great video!
Do you need to drill drainage holes?
Drainage hole video is a response here. Thanks!
Do you know how old those trees are?
do the potted fruits come in during the winter?
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!
Fun to watch!
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.
Cherry trees get really large. Why would anyone plant it in a container? The roots will break thru the container.
Brilliant.
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.
According to the Stark Brothers every fruit product they hold is difficult to grow in my area.
been over a year….hows the cherry tree doin?
@OS253 It depends on the rootstock. If it's on colt or gisela 5 rootstock, then the tree will remain small.
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)
WOW, I was just getting ready to ask that. I was thinking maybe it could go into a garage or warmed area, even if its dark. Just barely water to keep alive. This would most likely be ok. Slowly bring it to light in spring. Anyone have confirmations that this will be fine?
I think they like cold, not sure. But if not, bring it inside in the winter, then slowly bring back out in spring. That way they can continue being container plants.
would this work for dwarf apple trees. And if so would i ever need to my trees
transplant i meant
I am in process of transplanting my dwarf peach tree got from Homedepot the other day. I am thinking to use the same 30-gallon metal trash can just like yours instead of a more expensive 1/2 wine barrel. I believe the metal is steel – what is yours made from? I might put it on a plant dolly if needed. Thanks for a nice vid.
cherrie trees need cold weather. they call them chill hours. you should leave them out in the cold all winter. yes even in freezing cold.
how's this tree doing?
Did you drill any holes in the bottom of your can???
Do you have an updated video or post on your cherry tree now
Schönes Video. Haben die Container Löcher? Damit das Wasser abläuft.
LG
Wow I didn't know you could do that! That's so cool!
Hi All, I am wondering if growing a cherry tree in a half wine barrel would work here in the SF Bay Area?! Any advice is appreciated …Thanks
Okay somehow you need more exposure. I thought your video was fantastic I do have a question though do you have any ideas on how to plant a cherry tree from a seed?
You deserve a show. I could see you being the Rachel Ray of Gardening.
What planting zone are you
Its been 10 years–how was the tree been doing?
Love, Light, Peace & Gratitude.
Well what compost?
Patty did you drill drainage in the trash can? The bottom?
Is it possible to show me how your cherry tree looks like planting on metal container?
Where's the updated video? This is an emergency my 4 in 1 cherry tree will arrive next week.
