Tropical Fruit Discussion / Companion planting container fruit trees
« on: September 04, 2023, 11:51:55 AM »
Has anyone else tried companion planting their container trees? I tried a little experiment with my 15gal white sapote. I just repotted it this spring into a larger pot and added a few seeds of Thai long beans and bok choy. I started the seeds a little late but they seem to be thriving together. I thinned out the bok choy as they filled in and now have some long beans coming in. My plan is to let the beans die out during the winter to add nitrogen to my pot.
My question is, will I have to worry about the roots getting too crowded? The white sapote is probably going to be in a pot for a few more years until I can find a sheltered place to plant it. Has anyone else tried squeezing all the space they have like this?
