Ask them what kind of rootstock each tree is grafted onto. The rootstock
type should indicate how large the tree will get, whether it will do well in
a pot,, on its own, or needs staking.

I went to several different nurseries today to look at small fruit trees.
A
saw one store advertise dwarf, and another advertising an ultra dwarf
orange
tree. I believe both were Washington Navel Oranges.
My question is, are they using different terminology for the same type of
tree or is ultra dwarf indeed smaller? I had never heard of ultra dwarf.

I'm looking for the smallest possible tree and am hoping which ever I buy
will grow in the pot I buy it in. My backyard is narrow and I don't have
the
room to plant it my soil. Will that work?

Thanks
