Tanis,
I co-authored a book in the late 1990's on container gardening. I wrote all
the chapters on growing edibles, including fruit in containers. It can be
found at amazon.com and other used book sites for a dollar or two. It's
called Container Gardening, by Barbara Pleasant and Doreen Howard (National
Home Gardening Club 1997). I covered vegetables, herbs, fruit trees and
shrubs--their pollination, root pruning, repotting, soils, etc. There is
also an extensive primer on container growing techniques, including the
correct media, fertilizers, etc. in the front of the book that I wrote.
Most of the information came from practical experience and interviewing
experts in the field.
