Title: Growing Tree in EB
Post by: Greenmtn on May 01, 2018, 11:42:49 pm

Has anyone tried growing dwarf variety of tree(s) in the standard EB ?

This year I would like to try Thai Roselle & TR Hovey dwarf papaya . I would very much like to know if anyone has had any success in this area  before I start planting.

I know of folks growing different types of fruiting trees and shrubs in EBs. I don't see a problem growing papaya, except I don't think the the EB id big enough, meaning not having enough space for the root zone. Papaya have an extensive root system.  Good luck

I found out the EB centered in FL have had success growing dwarf papaya.  So I believe it's worth a try
