G'day to the group .
Situation : Hot dry climate in wheat belt Mid West WA


1 Wish to grow Lemon Trees in Tubs to produce fruit

2 Thus advice needed on type of tub material old 44's ok ?
Or commercial plastic large ones or ceramic ? Both very expensive out here

3 Wish to grow about ten trees which will be later moved to new home
due for completion in late 2010 and form part of a planned garden
Under some shade as summer temps here reach up to near 50 and 30 +
straight days over 40 are not unusual ground temps also a killer
unless heavily watered and mulched


Types of soil preferred by lemons in such conditions and any other
advice much appreciated .

Cheers
