How to Grow a Fruit Tree in a Pot - Container Gardening

[@myeyesdontlie518]

Martine seems like he's a hell of a guy to help a buddy with a project

[@TOMMYBITESHOMESTEAD]

This was great, I planted my peach tree in a 5 gallon container today. I was gonna do a 17 gal pot but remembered what was said about the nutrients Nd water not reaching the roots and sitting in the soil. Thank you both

[@myrnajames1460]

Hi Jakes I live in the UK. I am growing a sugar apple from seeds unfortunately \i am not able to get most if the soil and additives you are talk about, but I am pleased to say that my plant is growing beautifully.

[@vnxettitw4879]

I liked all the questions Jake asked!! I'm a beginner so it was very helpful.

[@justbeachy2031]

Hey Jake, I'm learning myself through trial and error this past year. I do always water the plants with my koi pond water but about six months ago I started Verma composting. I highly recommended. The red wiggler worms are excellent composters, reproduce at an amazing rate. I purchased a special worm bin with trays just because it wouldn't be so heavy for me to Lyft the castings do get heavy but you can get started with a bucket or a tray just Google Worm Composting. Uncle Jim's worms was who I purchased from. I was a little concerned having them sent from Pennsylvania to California but all 1200 of them arrived safe and sound. Good luck!

[@r0xjo0]

So knowledgeable. I really admire you guys. I hope in the next couple of years I can own my own home and have enough land to try growing some tropical trees.

[@GraftingTactick]

Good story telling the about the sugar apple plant 👌❤

[@komreed]

I found a rare cherimoya at my local grocer in Maryland US. Loved the fruit, and that was the first time I saw them so I decided to give growing them a go. I scarified & soaked the seeds & 3 weeks later several rotted but 2 started tap roots and look pretty good. Idk if they will survive indoors in Maryland but I’ll do my best.

[@stevehoang5289]

I think you learned from the wrong guy. When you transfer a tree to another pot, the new pot should be bigger than the current one so that the roots could grow freely in the new pot. In your case, the roots are compressed in a smaller pot, it's not good advise.

[@HsingSun]

Thank you for your video. i wanted to see that you have grown mango fruits in the pot, can you show us?

[@nhamdat]

Soursop and sugar Apple can not be out side in the winter. Happy gardening

[@TheMari63]

I live in Florida and my soil is mostly SAND (about 65%) and my problem is not enough organic material. All the fertilizer drains away quickly!

[@spearo561]

my favorite fruit, if you haven't tried it, it's AMAZING

[@LuvThyMind29]

Why did they transplant it into a smaller pot?

[@GinchyGirlCreatesAndGardens]

Wow this was a great vid !! I feel like a Kinder-GARDENER !! Te je je je je. Learning every day !!!! :D

[@SupathiRatnayake]

My trees grow very well in reddish brown soil. We call it "Boralu". It's some kind of gravel.

[@pureenergy5136]

Hi Jake, you love the Sour Sop, but did you know that this little gem that you have here is not just called a 'Sugar Apple, but also called a....SWEET SOP???:) Yes...Yes, in some countries that is what it is called. A beautiful, succulent, sweet juicy and nutritious fruit. To me....there's this...the Sweet Sop at the sweetest end of the spectrum (of the sops that is...:), then the Cherimoya, then the Sour Sop. and the Custard Apple comes in there somewhere between Cherimoya and the Sour Sop. It appears that you and I have very similar taste in fruits. Not sure if I've tried the Mamey Sapote. There is another/smaller version of the Mamey Sapote that is called a Naseberry. Fully ripe and mellow...it's to die for delish... Talk about juicy nutritious brown sugar...mmmmh. But then there are the Lichi...I love all kinds, + the Logan...delish. But by DNA...:) I'm a Mango person....DNA blueprint is the only explanation I have as to why I love them so much. Whether they're 'hairy' or not (and by hairy I mean what you might call 'stringy' or 'fibrous'. Some 'hairy' variety are some of my favourites. That intoxicating/fragrant flavour and sweetness and juiciness is sheer bliss. And yes...I'm still talking about 'mango'....Not that other delectable hairy fruit....Aaaaaah, OK...I'm gonna go now.:)

[@roberthuffman4354]

great info on planting,& what to do,also I see your solar power in the back grown--good

[@jenc8953]

Dang…wish I would have watched this video a week ago, I just planted my apple tree in a pot with some compost. 🤭

[@zakittyslair]

didn't know this! Fascinating!

[@Maatson_]

So I guess putting my mango tree in a 100g pot was way over kill. Glad I put lots of sand in it and mulch .

[@phantomcreamer]

Whrn I first saw this, I knew that plant was being repotted too early. That root ball was much to I small, clearly a lot of the roots broke off when removing it. .It's best to wait until there is sufficient root development so that the roots don't break. It's like a single stick, which can break easily, but a bundle of sticks will not break. Next time buy a new pot, do not transplant too early.

[@applehair995]

It was mentioned that it is not time yet for repotting. But they are doing the video for demonstration on transplanting.

[@rigoflores6286]

Gracias Martin for the help :)

[@christinepsmith7080]

What did u do to rehab it. Mine the leaves are yellow and brown now in April and what fertilizer do you use

[@DaisyDeSilva]

Awesome video. Very informative!

[@reksmeyok1957]

Thank you for your video, athletic gardening guides

[@devbachu7072]

strong man what the seie of plants we can plant in a container what about the root system so you can transplant any time

[@Mochi88981]

Can I use peat moss instead of mulch?

[@jonathanmacias5450]

"unfortunatelty I have two friends the third is usually a problem" if I was Martin I would have been gone after he said that

[@chrissyisblessed1398]

I felt the same and had to really dissect that.

[@sunitabhandari1243]

very very interesting. 👍

[@TSIRHCSEVAS]

can i transplant in the same way my mango tree?

[@devbachu7072]

hi can I grow any fruit trees in pots

[@kathyhirsch379]

hi i have started growing a moringa tree from seed inside its winter here it looks like the tree is as tole as the pot i know u sad its no good to re pot the tree in to a much bigger container but i am worried about keep re potting got a movable toy been can i plant my tree in it and what sort of mix can i use thank u

[@lebamaonalita3194]

Here in the Philippines we called it babana..

[@tlgardens7598]

Enjoyed the vid, don't appreciate "proprietary secrets" related to potting mixes.

[@Jpow915]

I feel ya. I cringe every time I hear or read proprietary blend.

[@gracesullano7112]

Can we order online of your soils?

[@vidiesel]

Wish there was a Shamus where I live. Is there a suggested list of pot size for the various tree sizes? (For example: 3ft tree in a 15 gallon pot)

[@phantomcreamer]

The step increase should be about 4-8 inches around the entire root system.

[@jacquelynnstroup6134]

I called Shamus nursery on 35Ave and Bell but he told me his nursery is not a retail, and Jake said that he got a tree from Shamus? I am confuse.

[@Jlui83]

Is the lava rock/ lava sand just crushed lava rocks u buy at Lowe’s or homedepot?

[@Lichtz]

I tried a sugar apple for the first time the other day. It's not a great fruit IMO. There are so many seeds that are attached to the flesh that it makes it impossible to eat the flesh without working extremely hard for it. You'll see what I mean. Best to go with an atemoya. :D

[@jonsnow-nk8th]

good living and healthy lifestyle bro..i like that.. : )

[@applehair995]

Are the soil components underneath layered one after the other, or are they all mixed up / blended?

[@devbachu7072]

that's a lot of work strong man to transplant that tree

[@richkammerer2090]

Jake, how often do you need to water this fruit tree?

[@jaskeda]

I think you have some air pots in the container

[@aaronchandler2380]

this is good info ... Thanks!

[@JoseGonzales-ul9sv]

Is ever going to produce fruit in a pot I seen big soursop trees in pot but no flower

[@santosg3]

Just wondering what kind of willow is that in the clip.

[@UfoAlien8]

[@gakaface]

Not sure I agree with some of the information in this video. I'm mindful that the Shamus fella is a vendor and thus has vested interests in selling products he condones in the video. For example, worm castings is earth, nothing more. Go dig some soil and save yourselves a lot of money not buying it from him digging it up and putting it into bags. Similarly all this nonsense about proprietary mixes and well draining mixes. They then flood the poor plant after half killing it because it doesn't have a sufficiently mature root system, squeezing it into a smaller pot than it needs. You ALWAYS pot upwards desirable plants. You only ever pot downwards undesirable or lesser plants, for example, plants you don't know what they are exactly or don't know the exact variety or you are experimenting. Pots should be well draining, that is have big holes which are not obstructed by crocs. And to support a tree properly, you need HARD, compressed soil, not one that is softened by stuff like perlite or sand or mulch.

[@Nadiayaros]

Where I can buy composted mulch?

[@MrDavidbrumit]

Sugar Apple is called Atis in the Philippines

[@dawnh1682]

They're called sweet sop in Jamaica. Popular fruit!

[@zeno.394]

Oo, daming wild atis dito sa amin😁 Hinaharvest ng ibon ,dahil masukal Na di maharvest ng mga bata.....

[@TheCloneGuy97]

Hey jake, my loquat tree has some white powder mildew on some branches, do you recommend I cut the infected peace off? Thanks!

[@RajeshKumar-pb4jd]

Mozzeyy add 2ml Neem oil and 2 ml liquid dish wash in 1liter Lukewarm water and spray it on the plant. 2-3 time in a week.

[@AdA-rl4eo]

Love your vids.. Never turn your back on the ocean though hombre.. She'll get ya 😜🌊

[@adiaraintikadunia9867]

IS IT ANY REASON YOU PUT THE TREE NOT STRAIGHT UP?

[@joenavanodo3780]

You put a healthy plant in a smaller pot, you left no room on top for watering or mulch, you butchered the rootball getting it out. I did learn something...not to use the ceramic or clay pots for the fruit trees, that was useful....but three guys to transplant one little tree???

[@shanedoe3462]

With fruit trees it's a good idea to mulch in order to keep weeds from growing. It also helps retain warmth during cooler months and keeps the soil from drying out too quickly.

[@MrKiet76]

I would think it'll be a lot easier than the one man show! the clay pot is heavy already. don't want to damage the tree trying to get it out. And quicker to get the job done!

[@smoketears6874]

love va but i try and steer away from plastic bagged soils at all costs.

[@juliosdiy3206]

Those 2 pots r the same so why repot it?

[@LillyU333]

Why would you transplant a tree to a smaller space than it was before?

that seem like went big pot to small pot ?

[@growingyourhealth4503]

I thought the same thing. Lol. I would have went with the 25 gallon pot

[@MiscellaneousMichelle]

That's what I was thinking

[@Syph1l1S]

shamus :)

[@TSIRHCSEVAS]

we cant find lava rock here. can i use pumice instead of lava rock?

[@Shyssiryxius]

Pumice = Lava Rock no?

[@tylerk.7947]

vermiculite, coarse sand, pine bark etc. would serve the same purpose and are viable alternatives.

[@pinjarela]

whats happening with your online shop?

[@fumiyobell523]

Big

[@TerryOCarroll]

Are you saying "Seamus O'Leary" or "Shameless O'Leary"?

[@TSIRHCSEVAS]

does the same principle be used for a mango tree? i mean i have a 80 cm mango tree which i put in a 25 gallon vase only 2 weeks ago. do i need to transplant it to a smaller vase or is it gonna put it more stress to re-pot it so quickly? please help man

[@TSIRHCSEVAS]

+Sally Jackson thanks for your reply. I am a little confused though because shamus o leary in a video said that at this age, mango should not be planted in a bigger pot as it can give problems with the drainage (bigger pots can keep the roots wet longer thus not good). What do yuo think of that?

[@tonyt8805]

It looked like they lost a lot of root!

[@animon87]

'rut' you mean! ;)

[@ronaldocastillo5979]

UHHM WATERING THE SOIL AROUND THE TREE WILL SOFTEN IT AND MAKE IT EASIER TO REMOVE. TAKES 3 3/6 HEADS TO BRAINSTORM ON TRANSPLANTING.

[@avonleanne]

here is a stupid persons question... when you say the three numbers, (7,5,4) are the three things that represent the numbers always the same three things? that always confuses me...

[@shanedoe3462]

Yes, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)

[@avonleanne]

awesome thanks for answering =)

[@Michael_McMillan]

+VeganAthlete I'm confused. I'm fairly certain that worm castings are a form of compost. But Shamus said you should never add compost, but adding worm castings is ok?

[@kakumah]

+Michael McMillan Hi! Compost is made for a chemical and bacterial reaction between greens (could be kitchen scraps) and browns (dead leaves) if heated it can overheat but, worm casting is only worm poop :)
