Grow these 5 fruits in pots on your balcony, and you'll have so much fruit that the branches break under the weight - you won't go a year without fruit to eat

At home you can not only grow flowers, but also plant some fruits in flower pots. They work as fruit bonsai and give you fruit to eat.

But many of us have seen fruit pots before, such as grapes, strawberries, cherry tomatoes and so on. Yet these 5 fruit pots also bear fruit like champions - good-looking and good-tasting.

1. Potted blueberries

Blueberries are rich in nutrients and good for the eyes. If you buy them at the supermarket, they come in a small box and are quite expensive. In fact, you can also grow them in pots at home. For pot growing, choose a suitable variety. It likes plenty of light, well-drained slightly acidic soil and a somewhat large flower pot.

2. Potted figs

We have all seen quite a few potted figs. Grown in pots, they are very easy to keep alive. Figs are highly adaptable and can be grown in most regions. After potting, they can bear fruit the second year, and then every year after that. Usually just make sure they get plenty of sunlight and pruning, and the fruit will be sweet and very juicy.

3. Potted papaya

Potted papaya is not often seen, but it can actually be grown in flower pots too, generally doing better in southern regions. Papaya has some shorter, high-yielding varieties that are very suitable for pots, though at first you need to choose a large, deep flower pot.

4. Potted apple

I have seen many potted apples at agricultural expos - just a small flower pot and it can bear loads of fruit. For potted apples, it is best to choose dwarf varieties. They can be kept on a balcony and will still bear fruit normally in a small space. But one thing to note: when planting, it is best to use a grafted seedling and a flower pot of over 60L.

5. Potted mango

Potted mango can be grown in a flower pot that is not particularly large. Generally, a dwarf mango tree is around 2 m tall and can adapt to a potted environment. But mango is a tropical fruit, so it is more suitable for planting in southern regions. When caring for it, make sure drainage is good and give it plenty of fertilizer and water, and it will grow vigorously.

Actually, growing fruit trees in pots is not hard. As long as you know a little about cultivation techniques and give them proper care, they will survive. What's more, potted fruit trees can keep bearing fruit for several years. Plant a few more varieties, and you won't lack fruit to eat all year round.
