100% of my container grown trees are growing in Air Root Pruning Containers. I personally believe that they are the finest containers to grow a plant in. Kvetch , its your tree, and you certainly can grow the tree anyway you wish. One comment on the fertilizer. If you wish to grow a container tree using organic type fertilization, its your choice. A good conventional fertilizer with high nitrogen and potassium will be much better for your tree, but it your choice. Lastly, I would strongly recommend that you do not prune any of the tree's roots. A citrus tree is a balance of the top foliage portion and the below ground root structure. During the first years, there is no need to cut/prune all, or any part of the tree since research has shown that any cut to a young tree reduces root growth. This is due to the equilibrium between foliage and root system. A citrus tree is a biological unit.
