Rocks on top of a plant pot
"JS" wrote in message
. .. I would like to ask the experts in the forum. I live in Dallas, TX area where strong wind and/or thunder storm is very common. In order to keep my backyard tree pots from being blown away by the strong wind, I put rocks (draining type) to make the pots heavier, that way they can withstand the strong wind. Is this OK? am I not going to cause any harm to the trees (mainly Plumeria and some fruit trees) Thanks in advance, JIMMY Pots/planters for trees in general are either straight up or of a generally inverted triangular shape with point cut off. Allowing some distance to top, putting rocks near the top make them top heavy. This prevents some lateral movement, does nothing for toppling over. Gravel or similar rocks are better off on the bottom to help prevent toppling over. There is a simple solution, but, seeing your response on someone that dallied from your venue, I won't discuss it.
