Hi Grey

Most definitely, you can use grow bags to cultivate limes and blackberries. Start with 20 ltr grow bag and progress from there.

Haply gardening :-)

Fruitylicious1, the Bonsai bags are rather different to grow bags. I don't think they get any larger than 20l unless there has been a change.

Read the article 'Trees in Bags' to find out more about Bonsai bags.

Hi Julie

If you type in bonsai bags in Daley's search button bonsai bag sizes starts from 15 liters through to 35 liters. I wouldn't say that Daley's is incorrect with their merchandise sizes. We bought a few of them when we went to their Kyogle nursery last year. I am currently using some of them ATM and I would say they are alright.

Happy gardening :-)

Fruity, like I said, &quote;unless there has been a change&quote;. I sent the &quote;e;Trees in Bags' article to Daleys some years ago, when the plastic bags were 20 litres. There was also a larger shadecloth one meant to sit above ground.

Good to see they are still in business.

Bonsai bags are the smaller volume - i have avos in the same brand of 100lt and 200lt - The best bags I have found are the fabric root pruning bags by Geopot - an Avo in a 45 gallon is growing amazing - they have from 1 gallon too - cheers.

I had about 12 on the Avo in 45gal Geopot last year - Avos prefer these pots as are wider and shallow vs the grow bags which are narrow and tall - this year is having a break and produced nil but has leafed up really well and if this winter is better than last years should get a good crop again - Cheers
