fruit bushes

savingmummy

I would like to grow a fruit bush, maybe raspberry or blackberry next year.
Could i grow one in a huge terracotta pot?

My in laws have two raspberry bushes well established and fruiting something rotten and it is only small in size although in the ground.
My husband found me one large pot today and it got me thinking whether i could grow a fruit bush in a pot or not x

If you keep it well watered and well fed I should think it would be fine.

Lovely i shall give it a try Thank you.

I have read online that despite some things said to be unable to be grown in pots most can and go on to do so, so worth a try! x

Raspberries are not supposed to be good in pots, but I have two in ground and two in large pot (basically because I ran out of ground space, and they seem to be doing rather well so far

Gooseberry and blueberries also do well in pots

My raspberry has grown a metre high in a pot a few cm wider than a Morrisons bucket so give it a go
