Hi everybody,
I'm seeking books and websites focused on growing fruit trees in containers. Can anybody recommend some?
Also, can anyone recommend any online sellers of dwarf fruit trees?
Thanks!

I'm not aware of any books specifically on growing orchard trees in containers, but the link below is to a really good site

I'm a big fan of Grow a Little Fruit Tree: Simple Pruning Techniques for Small-space, Easy-harvest Fruit Trees by Ann Ralph. Although it's meant for backyard orchards, it can also apply to container-grown plants.

She's brilliant. She can see what can be and is not limited to what is. And she knows this tiny ad:
