Hi, I'm new to this forum so not sure whether this is the fruit and veg
page!!

Actually, you'd be better off in rec.gardens.edible. As often as not,
this group is about lawns, maintenance of aging machinery, and the
overuse of potent plant poisons.

Does anyone know how big a pot has to be to grow rhubarb please?

A rule of thumb is that the root system will take as much space as the
foliage will.
I
grow all my veg in pots (tomatoes, French beans, courgettes, sweet
peppers, mini cucumber etc).
Also, is it possible to grow dwarf/small apple, pear, plum trees etc in
pots/containers?

Thanks
