Mini Apple Tree

[Matheous-2]

What would be your minimum size for a container to use as a permanent home for this tree please?

60 x 60 x 60cm.

[Matheous-2]

Thank you for that! Was it an experienced guess?

If it is a ballerina I'd go for about 75cm diameter and underplant with strawberry plants or lettuces... or its a bit boring

[Matheous-2]

Thanks also rowan witch.....Not sure if its a 'ballerina' or not. It does have two varieties grafted together.

Should still be enough the mini grafts don't have a very long lifespan so 75cm should be big enough don't underplant in the first year though Idid a mini avenue of potted mini apples and pears in a garden I designed once 5 years on they are still in the same pots and fruiting quite well

Yes, I have four on my roof terrace, 2 Pear, 1 each of Plum and Cherry. The fruit tree expert at the nursery advised me to get the 60cm cube as a lifetime home for them
