Goldfinger
Has anyone fruited a goldfinger in a pot? I just planted one in a 15 gallons pot, and was interested in hearing experiences.

Re: Goldfinger
No experience here with Goldfinger. But given that it can grow up to 14 feet in the tropics (4.2 meters), a 15 gallon container seems awefully small to grow this plant to fruiting size.

Re: Goldfinger
I see. I can't get one much bigger because otherwise it wouldn't pass through the door of my greenhouse.

Re: Goldfinger
I am growing a Goldfinger in a 65gallon pot, it is only about 4ft now and leaning a little too much. Will be moving it soon and will dig out on one side under the pot to straighten it up.

Re: Goldfinger
I have two potted. They are only about 18" so far though. I am out of space in the yard, so they will have to make do in a larger pot.
