I would go with a raja puri! They would do great in a large pot and still stay short. 6-7'. Make sure you get the real one though! Most raja puri owners do not have the real raja puri!

Others to think about dwarf namwa, or FHIA-01 Goldfinger, or gran nain maybe. In your location just about any! I would stick to dwarfs though!

Please post picture of you plant. Container grow plants are much more difficult than in-ground plants for most people. Also, tell us about your fertilizer program, type and how often and watering.

But try misting your plant (not the ground) daily and folar feeding a weak fertilizer once a week. If the there is an immediate improvement, let us know. This wont hurt the plant and without pictures & other info we can't give much more help.

How big are the plants and how much fertilizer are you applying?

I meant more mulch if alkaline. Sorry for my wording. Bio active mulch is better than conventional.

Tree company chips, grass clippings, and leaves are your best biodynamic resources. It feeds beneficial fungus, microbes, and millipedes and in most cases should benefit greatly.

Especially leaves. The old 3-4 year old forest floor ones are the absolute best mulch/top dressing you can find in my opinion!
