Default Re: Container size?

I've not idea what the answer is , but I've flowered my 'African Red' in a ten gallon and three stems on one 'Royal Purple' are about to flower in a ten gallon. I have just been given some 15 gallon pots that I will use for Ornata types next year just to give them a little extra room. Some of my fruiting types like 'Saba' and 'Ice cream' have grown well in ten gallons this year , but some are behind in growth like 'Cardaba' . I'll buy some 25 gallon pots this winter for the fruiting types and repot come Spring. I cannot think I'd want to move pots bigger than 25 gallon. Also I think I'd have a hard time sourcing cheap plastic pots above 25 gallons.I'm prety sure I can get fruit from a 25 gallon pot , maybe not big yields but fruit none the less.
Good Luck
Later
Steve
