G'day again

One thought that I had last night re Frangi trees growing in a large
pot.......how large is the root system? and how invasive? I realise that
I'll have to repot every few years but wondering if the root system would
crack a glazed pot, for instance.

Thinking of putting the red one I bought on eBay in a large glazed pot.

i had two in a big plastic pot, & they were fine. i found the root system
was appropriately small. however, in a pot i don't think the tree would
ultimately grow really large as they would in a garden. they're very pretty,
small in a pot, though! any tree in a pot you need to keep an eye on.

Thanks Kylie, somehow I didn't think they were too invasive but decided
to check and make sure. The added benefit of having one in a pot is
that it can be moved near a window or door when in bloom.....better than
having cut flowers in a vase!! lol
