RE: Has anyone ever tried growing a fruit tree in a earthbox?

Hi Johnathan, no I haven't tried any fruit tree but next spring I am going to try a few palm tree in my home made box, I had so much good luck with my tomato plants in these home made box who knows what I will try next. I did make one box, well maybe not a box but a 5 gal bucket in to a growth container and put a Chinese Elm in it. Man it grew faster then I thought it would at lest I think it did it was 2" when planted in May come October it was 2 and 1/4 foot . I was going to use it for a bonsai but some one offered me quit a bit for the bucket and elm that I could not turn them down. Very dumb ...I did not get any pictures, I took picture of my tomato containers but not the elm......O-Well!
