Orange tree 'Cipo' in hanging basket?

(1/1)

Daintree:
So last year, a local nursery was selling 'Cipo' orange trees in 12" hanging baskets. I didn't get one this year, but was thinking of one for next year, and moving it (Soon? Eventually?) into a regular pot on a stand.
The pictures that Logee's has shows a VERY small grafted plant with a bunch of oranges... 

Has anyone grown this tree?
General thoughts on hanging orange trees actually producing?

Hello! I'm from Argentina and here it is called orange vine, but it comes from Brazil, so the name there is orange "trepadeira". Its growth is decumbent, meaning that the branches cover themselves downwards, and they generally sprout on the lower side of the branch, but when they are green the sprouts are flexible. I advise you to direct it upwards with a tutor to the height you want, fighting with its habit, and once you have it at the height you let it grow alone... it would be good for a pergola, since even if it is high its branches will go down and hang the fruit near you, they will not be up high and unreachable. That is my best advice. The flavor is very good compared to others in my yard.

Daintree:
Thank you!
