I see asparagus specifically mentioned, however, asparagus plants live for up to 20 years. How can asparagus be grown in the pot if the pot life is only 3-5 years?

I don't know how many years it will last, but the one I bought last year is still out there supporting a few plants that wintered over, and after I top it up with compost, it will be ready to replant. I have a pot made from a similar material that's held a parsley plant for 3 years now and is still hanging in.

Perennials would grow fine if they are not too large. The bag may not be deep enough. I plan to use it again this planting season and don't see any reason why I couldn't. I emptied the dirt from it and stored it and have not looked at it yet.

Not sure on longevity .. Just put in last fall. But it's deep enough for perennials .. Holds a lot of dirt!

I bought some of these pots last year to grow vegetables in and they have held up quite well. You likely will get several years out of them and growing perennials shouldn't be a problem.

I'm from upstate NY, Broome County, a friend of mine has a large greenhouse with a few banana plants, but he has backup power for longer power outages there, additional lighting for lack of sunshine, and additional sources of heat. If you can you keep temperature over 65, with additional light, and account for power outages, they should grow. The plants I have are in large pots in Florida.

depends where in texas you live, you can plant it in a large pot and move it in, at least for the first year or two

It should. It's a pre-emergent. and will last for about three months, then you'll have to re-apply. Frankly, if you don't want anything to grow there at all, just spread down some pure nitrogen, very thick. That will suck the life out of your ground and nothing will grow for several years. Your local garden center should have it. I found some at Home Depot.

I just received mine earlier this summer, so I don't expect fruit for 18 months or so. It'll stay potted, since I live in Michigan, and spend winters indoors. I've heard that in tropical areas, with year'round or nearly so, growing seasons, papayas can fruit in 12 months or less. My previous TR Hovey papaya was eventually planted in a large 20 inch diameter pot, and grew to be about 5 ft, tall in that pot. They can live 5-10 years or more.

Unsure. It would probably last for a few seasons but eventually it would deteriorate if left unprotected. i have mine in the house with several plants on it and am very happy with it under these circumstances.

I can't say because we had a white variety too. They all produced fruit the first year. But none survived last winter (in PA).

I live in FL, so I can plant any time. When I lived in NY, I would start the seeds indoors and set them out in the spring.

Karen I live in Pittsburgh,PA and mine did fine. I didn't even cut them all the way down--- i just let them go (normal pruning) . I purchased them in spring of 2012 and they got fruit this year already --- :-) i'm so happy with them!

I bought one for my granddaughter for her birthday last year. She lives in Tampa and on a recent visit I can only tell you it will be years before it matures enough to bear fruit.....if it lives that long. It is however, thriving at the moment.

We live in southern New Jersey. We bring out bat leaf into the garage in the winter. It lives in a planter on our porch from April thru December. We are in zone 7.

Sorry, but I do not know. I am near Albany, NY, where we have cold winters. I bought my plant in late Summer and it grew tremendously. However, we brought it in the house for the first winter to give it a chance to develop a little more before we try leaving it out all year. Once we plant it outside, we plan to plant it near the house on the south facing side to give it the best chance of survival.

That depends on where you live, I live in San Diego California and can grow it year around, in harsh winters it may be an annual.

Depends on where you live. I live in Ky and I can get it to grow spring and fall

I bought 4 bags at my neighborhood lowes. I ended up putting a bag and a half in it for my son. I have had it for two seasons now and finally wen t through the last bag.

Yes....just beware of early frost and mulch as much as you can. Start as many parent plants inside as you can and in fall cover them with new mulch. Should come back following years if you work with them.

Apparently it is good for 1 season and they start dying off. I have a big bag that I will use until it is gone over the next few years. May not be as potent, so just use a little more next year.
