Dahlia Tree
 

We visited the Luther Burbank Home and Garden in Santa Rosa, CA a few
weeks ago. They had a few plants for sale and I bought a Dahlia Tree in
a container. I did some research when I got home and found that these
trees grow to be twenty to thirty feet tall. I would like to keep it in
a container to keep it from getting too big. Anyone out there had
experience with doing this?

Thanks, Don

Even if you keep it in the pot, it'll still grow that tall and it'll make tubers
that are realy BIG in size. If you trim it enough you could kill it too. If you
live where frost comes early, you also may never see it bloom too.
