Have you used "tree pots"?

I'm curious to know if anyone has experience with tree pots. I may need to use them for a few months and I'm wondering how long newly grafted apple trees could remain in the tall pots.

http://www.stuewe.com/ has a large selection.

The MT38 is a 3" wide X 8" tall pot ( 58 cu in ) which I would consider along with 10" tall pots.

Does someone have experience with these?

hi, i planted newly purchased, Pristintine apple trees, purchased from RainTree, last June, bare root, standard size and they have done extremely well, very pleaded, used good potting soil, they look just as good as any i put directly in the soil. Best O Luck!

I am using them for a few weeks this spring to keep the plants on the patio and away from the slugs until they leaf out.

I finally bought the 4" x 14" tree pots for my grafted trees and some 3x8" pots for some seedlings that I will be growing.
