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 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.

Hey, sticks and stones baby. And maybe a wee mention of my stuff:
