    Well to me the ground has to be best if you have the space Scotkat, otherwise very large pots to avoid them drying out while apples are forming..... :thumb:

    Hi Scotkat I,m also for growing in the ground,have tried growing some in large clay pots but failed miserably:dh:but then again that was probably down to me,lack of experience and only a limited amount of knowledge at the time(and not much more now):)
