## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could you put these in the ground.  My oak trees are taking all the nutrients from my hostas and thinking of planting them this way.**
A: If it's in the ground, then tots will just grow through the pot and will not be air pruned. If you want to isolate your plants from one another, either distance or something solid will help.

**Q: I wonder if these pots would be suitable for putting prebonsai in? Would they be ok to start training a juniper bonsai in?**
A: I would think that wouldnt be a problem but a 5 gallon might be on the larger side I am not familiar with the root system for a bonsai tree but would assume a 1-2 gallon would be a better buy just my opinion as these pots are supposed to air trim the roots. Again if I knew about if they produce massive roots or not I could maybe answer this better.

**Q: Good for rose bushes?**
A: It's a guess as I haven't tried it: I don't see why it wouldn't work provided the pots are large enough, after all you can feed water them and control the amount of sunlight by moving them. I think that a  5gallon pot would be way too small, but I really know nothing about roses. HW

**Q: There are 2 measurements listed 12x9.5 up at the top & 12x12.5 under Product Details. Can anyone give me the actual dimensions of their pot?**
A: Black Smart Pot #55 gallon (19.3 liters), 12" base x 9.5" height
