I don’t remember seeing these particular ones last year. I’ve been on the hunt for big containers for my citrus for a couple of years now. Walmart and the other big box stores had pitiful selection of containers that weren’t all that large and wanted $15++ for what they did have. Er...no thanks

My current project is seeing if I can get some dwarf apple (or peach or pear) trees in these same big containers. Concealing them with wooden box planter exteriors (from reused pallets hubby can get for free) painted to match my house’s exterior. This way, if we get a really unseasonable freeze in midbloom we can get a moving dolly and put them in the garage for a night or two.

That’s a good plan for the fruit trees. I saw some containers I liked at Dollar General last fall on sale, but they didn’t have the size I needed, since I didn’t want a really big one.

They had some smaller than I needed, and larger than I wanted. Once I get my greenhouse, I’ll go for a larger one, and put it on a dolly that hubby made, so that I can roll it around if I need to.
