Default Re: 2 Questions about trying to fruit dwarf varieties

My dwarf Cavendish that has just fruited is about 6 feet tall from the soil line. I moved it to a 25 gallon pot to lessen the frequency of how often I had to water it and allow me more room for pups. I had the room too and store them in my garage over the winter so it wasn't too big of a problem. Last year it wasn't that much smaller and was in one of the larger pots you can get at Lowes. I think it was the 20 inch Garden Treasures pot. It was doing well but I had to water it every other day. It can get hot here during the peak of summer. When it put up pups it was a bit difficult to remove them but still doable. I also had a Blue Java in the same size container until recently. It was about 10 feet tall before I planted it in the back yard. You can definitely keep them in smaller containers than a 25 gallon but be prepared to water more often in the summer months.
