Not saying I’m a professional gardener but I have had great success here in Georgia (USA) growing mangoes and other fruit trees. I have small trees in large pots and they grow great and will eventually grow into the pot in time. As for soil, it’s simple,I use peat moss, soil conditioner, manure, compost and top soil. You can’t go wrong with these basic ingredients and it’s cheaper than those fancy fertilizers and other products that are sold by these UA-camrs.
I sprinkle very small amounts of 10-10-10 on top of the soil making sure it is close to the edge of the container then I apply leaves for on top of the soil mixture and tree for water retention. The leaves will break down and become compost.
The tree will become a dwarf and stay a certain size depending on the size of the container. Also throw in some worms on top of the leaves and they will burrow into the container and thrive creating castings every day.
With this method, you don’t spend a lot of money and the soil will retain moisture as well as creating a microorganism utopia in the container.
TY for this! I’m in Alabama and was looking for this type of advice for my zone. I want to plant peach, lemon and cherry trees 🌳
where in GEORGIA?
I never thought I'd learn so much in less than 10 minutes until watching this video. Thank you so much!
Extremely informative and accurate information. I grow all my fruit trees in containers and this guy is 100% spot on with soil type and soil amendments. I struggled a lot at first by not knowing this type of information. Anyone who is new to container fruit tree growing needs to take this man’s advice because it is gold 👏🏼
Regarding putting a small plant in a huge pot, the opposite is true. The center stays too wet. You will think the soil is dry and you will keep adding water, depriving the roots of oxygen and risking root rot.
We've actually been growing mangoes in containers for almost a year now, up here in Canada! It's wonderful to see how they grow!
whats the update on your mango tree?
Update us please
Phenomenal. I've been growing veggies in pots for years but this is my first year trying fruit trees. Thanks for the video.
I planted bare root figs in 20's. Had crazy feeder root growth and solid height growth. Moved them down to 15's and they broke bud. Something I learned by accident.
Fantastic information!!!
Firehouse Subs sells their food-safe 5 gallon pickle buckets for only $2 to help fund their fire department program. They are labeled with the recycle triangle #2 HDPE- High Density Polyethelene. This is a very inexpensive way to get a hold of large, food-safe buckets for your garden if available in your area. Firehouse is located in 46 states and their website has a zip code locator. Hopefully this info will be helpful to my fellow gardeners.
SaguaroSunset I use those firehouse pickle buckets to grow potatoes!
holy cow... you just made my year.
link to Firehouse Subs containers?
i have very small space this one were very informative tnX
Love from India learning a lot from ur video s thank you
Thank you so much! I just replant my. Mango tree again after I watch your show. I got it 3 days ago.
Can you grow pawpaw in containers? Or do they eventually need to move to ground soil?
PLEASE do a video about what to feed your plants in container and when to do ...
This so informative. Will def apply these tips in my Zone 5 area.
Hi jake
I watch all your videos.
In one video I saw your Moringa Tree,loaded with pods.
Asian in India and all over the world love these pods.We make vegitarian curry from these pods, and also curry from moringa flowers.I live in london born in Tanzania(lived in tanzania for 28 years and then moved in UKsince last 42 years.
In London Moringa pods are sold for £4 a kilo in asian food stores.You should try to sell some to Asians.
This tree is also very easy and quick to grow from a branch, just stick a large branch in ground and in 6 months you will have another Moringa tree, much quicker then from seed.You can also do air layering.
Q
Nice work brother i wish i was better prepared so I could have had all my trees outside for the winter.
Shamus, What if my mango plant roots start growing into the ground? Can mango roots break rock walls if they are planted to close?
Thank you so much this video was very informative and helpful

Hi, great video. I have just purchased a grafted mango tree. It only has 1 main trunk but lots of leaves. When can I expect it to develop branches?
What about apple,peach,oranges and plums can you grow those in containers?
Nice a Vegan Athlete.
interesting video!👍👍👍
Interesting...!!!
Good for cities & hot climate
Would you please list out the name of the soils, where do we get them
What is the difference between compost and composted mulch? I'm from Spain and there is no composted mulch at any nursery. I only find compost. Thank you so much.
Thank you
guys...
very much informative...
you not have shown how a big container was filled before a tree was planted...i mean what you did at the bottom of d pot for good drainage...?...
Well I m from India...well known for Alphanso Mangos.we love it...
Wonderful root training and way of underweight useful compost. Thank you mamu.
Can you ship trees to California?
Hmm 7 yrs ago. So much has changed and learned with container planting. Can definitely grow a lot of trees he mentioned not to nowadays
would you ever prune the root ball to keep the tree in a 15-25 gallon container?
Everything shamus said not to do I have done and learnt the hard way! excellent information
What about papayas? Can they thrive in containers?
I have a meyer lemon tree in a pot, what should I use for fertilizer?
Not sure if I missed it, but how do you prevent the tree from outgrowing the largest pots you can handle without equipment? Is pruning sufficient to limit the size of the root ball?
Cut the container get bigger one and do same thing
dear sir what size grow mango plant in a pot best size of pot what.
Hi Shamus, with your scheduled feeding do you use worm casting, azomite and foliar feed all at the same time or do you space each differently? Trying to time all feedings at once. Also, what is the brand for 7-5-4 monthly feedings?
+L. E. Same time. Harrell's
nice video
Thank you for sharing how to grow fruit tree in pot, can you share your recipe of your soil, thanks
Hi, Great post. When planting a 25lt Hass Avocado and Mango in a 50 ln a container in Israel. Should I add some compost and fertilizer to the container bottom and mix it in the soil a bit? I have heard that it may be too strong for a container since the roots are limited to where they can go, and the tree could burn out. on the other hand I want nice fruit and the tree to grow. What's your take?
How many pieces of fruit can this size of tree ripen maximally? It goes like 5 gallon then 15 then 25 gallon ? Thx
WHAT THE best to harvest that
do you have a video on feeding schedule?
Perfect! Just what I was looking for :)
Hey man I work in a garden center on the east side of Phx I was wondering if your nursery sells any of that soil you’re currently using?
Yes sir
What do you feed the tree during the regularly scheduled feeding? Worm castings? Compost tea? I currently just got a lime tree, but I plan on getting a mango and an avocado tree.
+vidiesel Worm castings , foliar feed, 7-5-4 monthly, 18-6-8 nutricote 2x year
Any recommended fertilizer brands?
What if you plant them in bottomless containers wouldn't that be better?
Great video. Thank you.
I'm in Florida and picked up a choquette from the local nursery. I'm planning on introducing it to mother earth(yard) on the first or second week in March when last frost has come and gone. Do I just added some gypsum to the soil in my yard plus the soil it had with it already. No need for new soil right? Fertilizer? From what I read loosening up the dirt around roots is ideal since this thing has been in a container. HELP ME I'm so lost.
This is exactly the info I was looking for! Thanks for the vid

What type of dirt is the filling?
Hi, nice video. I am from India,WestBengal,

I just bought a himsaga mango. It grow really slow. Any tip on growing in pot? Thank You!
@@ThanhNguyen-xd5bs use cow dang, horn+bone dust, fungicide, ( 200 grams mustard seed cake.... with 1 litre water 💦 keep it minimum 6 to 10 days)...and then ...that blend 200 grams+ 20 litre water......pour it on soil.
You know I bought two types mango plants 1) Katimon 2) Honeydew.
Thank you for the information. Can we grow lemon trees in a container.

Hi, Shamus! How about citrus trees? Do you carry them and can you make a vid on it? or are they treated the same as a fruit tree?
Im not sure if your soil is right... should put the mulch on the side of pot on top but not by the roots! it will kill the roots for some fruit trees
When does the tree start to flower,,does it have Flower cycle or does it flower with age???
Shamus if you would... would it be okay to use compost in a pot if you have allowed your soil mix that you plan to use to sit over a year or so in a container, to allow the compost to burn up? I'm simply curious and like I said..I've never grown a tree and you obviously know how to grow trees. I'm just wondering if you've ever tried allowing your mix to sit over a year or two in a sealed container(to keep nutrition in) and used that? Thank you very much for sharing these videos. I appreciate it.

Nothing except -(300$ + transportation)=fresh fruits..........
wondering about mulch? Does the tree need mulch on top? thank you! - Tess
+Epic Gamer Mulch always good
Thanks a lot. Do you have a list of the stuff you added to the pot? Thanks
when again you transplant an what seize pots
Why dont you just directly use a 25gal container when it still sprouting rather than transfering everytime it grows?
what type of soil do you recommend I use in my container for my mango tree since I live in San Antonio, Texas, and can not get your soil. Thank you
+Rosemary Maciel Anything that drains well. I like lava rock, sand, composted mulch
Thank you
Do you ship you fruit tree soil to Alaska ? 😃
does anyone know of any sites for getting free seeds to start growing with?
Why do not you grow trees in air pruning pots? In that case you would not neex to care so much about changing sizes so often and make first 4 inch rule and right after that place tree to relatively big pot.
I am doing experiments on mango plants and orchards in Pakistan
Hi,Was this grown from seed?
Hello Shamus, can you grow avocado In a pot?
Avocado is growing big and it should grow into the ground.
Love his hair. :)
it's gonna be hard to move that 25 gallon tree in the winter
Is this mango tree grafted or not ??? Nice video BTW
Latino Heat grafted
are you sure ?
Latino Heat yes he said he only sales grafted trees
thanks mate"
Hi i always thought sand increased drainage & humus & composted material helped to retain & retard loss of moisture. Plus where do you get those 65 gal pots?
What about avocado?
