does this work on container tree? I have container mango and guava outside right now but plan to bring the container inside when the weather gets cold

Yes, I use it on my container citrus trees. The only thing I'm not sure of is bringing the plants inside. I don't think fruit trees would do well indoors. If you live in the area you may check with Wegman's nursery in Redwood City. They're very knowledgeable. Good luck!

Yes, It works on container plants. Just follow the instructions on the label and water thoroughly.

I live in Northern Michigan and had to bring my tree inside for the winter. Unfortunately it did not survive. I did everything i was supposed to do but it did not make it. I was quite disappointed especially when I paid almost three times the cost of the tree for shipping. I purchased my tree from Lemon Citrus Trees. As far as your location, I don't know your temperatures down there. Best bet is to call the company where you bought the tree. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.Patricia

I agree with the other two responses. Not really suitable for fruit... definitely a planter.

I have not, but it was my sour cherry tree that inspired me to get this. (I also have several mature standard apple trees and that's what I've used it for.) I don't think it would work great. The prongs at the end are widely spaced. You grab an apple with them and pull to drop it into the basket. I can't see how the prongs could grab cherries, even the larger sweet variety. I bought a ladder for the cherries.

Your tree is an outdoor tree but can be put inside if it is below 50 outside. Your tree may dry out in the house! Be careful not to let this happen! I have mine inside so I keep my eye on them.

Yes, it is but I take a Q-tip and pass pollen between all the flowers on the one tree. I now have 5 fruit and they look very healthy. My tree is about 7' tall and it took a year for it to fruit. I keep it inside during the winter but move it outside during the day. I live in PHX. It needs lots of sun, water and warmth. Make sure soil is not soggy - it will rot.

Yes! I bought these for my outdoor container plants on my deck. The glass globe ones I use on the indoor plants would not hold enough water during the warmer late spring early summer months when gone for a week or two. These do the trick! I actually use them year round!

Lol, there should be some guidelines on the bag, since its a general fertilizer it should go by the size of your tree and not the fruit itself, meaning go by the trunk size of the tree. Either way, too much is a bad thing, I would put no more than two at opposite ends of each other at least 6-8" from the trunk. miracle gro should have a website to go to-the best advice- I would check their website

I have only had the tree for two years and it has not produced any fruit yet. It depends on where you live if there is a chance of freezing I would not plant it in the ground.

I'm in Louisiana and received mine in April of last year and I planted it outside in a container. It looked like it died over the winter but it has come back with a vengeance! Hooray! But... I still haven't gotten any fruit from it. Maybe this year hopefully.

No, you still need to utilize a citrus-oriented fertilizer in the soil. The citrus fertilizer spikes supposedly work well for larger trees although I haven't used them personally (cannot be used for potted trees.)

I am using mine in a ivy area and it is working great. I cut the front off a one gallon jug of milk and put it inside to protect it from the weather. So yes, it works great outdoors, you just have to protect it from the weather.

Yes it will. But when I have to keep large items (summer time) I keep a cooler in the trunk. Besides a gallon container has a handle, for most cases. Actually I use it for my 12 hour work shifts, it keeps everything cold (with a couple freezer packs).

I use it both inside and outside the fridge. It seems to help make the counter fruit (like bananas) and veggies (like tomatoes) last longer. The green bags help too, but you have to make sure the bags are open or moisture builds up inside and creates mold. This is not a problem with the bluapple product, which I've come to like better than the bags.

So far, it's lasted outside past few weeks in jersey in the cold no problem. It's a small worthy investment. Can't hurt to try it out. Do research on the specific species of the tree for the most accurate info.

Hello Danny, I am not sure if this brand has it, but amazon sells several multi-sized shrub covers that would work nicely with a small fruit tree. The row cover would work while it was a seeding with tender roots, or would work in definitely with creeping fruit vines. Hope this helps.
