apple tree

please note pictures of 2 apple trees, and 1 pear tree, in the advert for sale they are planted in tubs, they are advertised as dwarf growing tree height 60-80cm. if i bought these 3 fruit trees would they grow ok in tubs or would they be better off planted in the ground, it would be better for me if they are ok in tubs as my garden is not very big, i know i would have to water them regular as i do have to water all my plants that are in tubs regular, please let me know a,s,a,p, then i know if to order them or not. thank you paul walker.

 

Hi Paul, I can't see the picture, just the infamous red x in the box! If the trees are advertized as being dwarf then they will be fine planted in tubs. Good luck.

PS - did your Mom get the plants home OK?

 

Hi, K-G. I've got a dwarf apple, in the pictures the fruit are growing right on the trunk. My tree is throwing out long leaders from the side. Do you know if you have to shorten theses to the trunk?
