Will this work on an banana tree (muss basjoo) that is in a pot?

I do not know the answer to this, but I Googled the following and I saw several articles come up which should provide you with an answer. Here is what I asked: can you use a tree spike on a potted plant?

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.)

Depends on the Pot, but I would say that it's not powerful enough for big pots.

I haven't tried it on beans but it's on everything else just fine. It's well constructed and a sturdy tool so it should work.

Don't be silly. Obviously if you use it on a metric banana, it will produce metric slices.

Hi Heide,Yes it will I have had a bit of a problem with one of my Smart Pots, but not enough to not use them...I love them. The problem was that a few roots worked their way through the bottom of the pot. I didn't discover this until I wanted to move it. It took a bit of energy, but it came loose and I moved it.Hope this helps.Melinie

If plants are NOT too heavy, yes. It would be easier to answer if you stated size of plant/pot size???

I don't know, it all depends on how thick you apply it. If the diameter of the tree is 10ftI would best guess one?

I doubt it. The function of the Treegator is to allow water to slowly saturate into the soil. I assume that there is no soil on your deck. If you are talking about using the Treegator with a potted tree, it might work but I would suggest a smaller Treegator.

do not see why not, the pot is big enough....I do not use one for this pot...

Providing the potted plants are well rooted (secure in their soil) and the type of potted plants aren't too delicate and you don't place the vac too close to the plant, I don't think you would have a problem. If the soil in the pots is very dry, it may suck up the plants and soil.

This is my first year using the pot I'm trying them with vegetables (cabbage, tomatoes), but I certainly think a dwarf fruit tree would do very well in the large pot.

No, it cannot. There are holes on both the top and bottom. The hole in the top allows the stem of the banana to protrude without having to cut it short to make it fit. I've never had a banana long enough for the hole in the bottom to be specifically necessary.

It works for older trees. I'm not sure about new ones. Something's have a different connector.

I am not sure. I returned mine because it leeks. I would not purchase this pot.

I don't think it would work. It struggled on my shrub branches that were about a 1/2" in diameter.

Hello Susan, I would not recommend this tool for that type of tree. That tree is more of a hedge than a typical tree with large limbs. There is also a correct way to prune this type of tree and you should follow that procedure in order to continue to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the tree. I included a website underneath for you. I hope this helps. http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000594_Rep616.pdf regards frank
