Can I grow this tree in a container?

Most fruit trees can be grown in a container. Follow the recommendations below...

Make sure your container has draining holes on the bottom of the container, so that any excess water can drain

Take the tree out of the container by laying in the side and slipping the container off, if may be necessary to push and tap the bottom of the plastic container
It is usually necessary to put some of the removed dirt back into the hole
Bury the root ball so the soil level is the same as it was in the container
Leave a mound around the tree for form a basin, fill with water, washing the soil into any empty pockets around the root ball
