Hello,

Is there anyone on the list with experience with apples in potted culture?  I 
have a few
questions I would like to ask;

1) What is the optimal size for the container?

It has to be large enough for the tree, but small enough to move into an 
unheated structure come
Fall.  I also wonder if a deeper container is better than a larger shallow 
container.

2) What is the optimal soil mix for the container?  The tree will be in this 
container for a
while, and starting with the proper soil mix would seem to be make or break.

3) Will apples grown in containers fruit at some point?  Will this be the 
average amount of time
till fruiting or longer?

Thank you.

Regards,
Tom
