A:  Hi. You can use this planter as a beginning pot for a small Madagascar palm but you will need to replant it to a bigger area at a later date depending on how big it starts to get. This palm grows around 12 in. per year and if planted outside can grow up to 20 ft. Planting inside it will get to between 4 and 6 ft. Good luck and happy planting.

A:  Center drain hole plug and can drill other holes at bottom perimeter.

A:  I've never removed the center plug. But I always drill several extra holes in the bottom to allow for better drainage. I have many of these.

A:  This planter contains a drainage hole. For adequate drainage, use a screwdriver to pop it through before planting.

A:  This planter is too shallow for avocado trees, you would want more root depth.

A:  I have to say that I have never planted an avocado tree but in my opinion as I have planted a few small palms, that it should not be a problem as long as it is only 1 tree per planter. I would though only use it as a starter as avocado trees get really big and should eventually be replanted in the ground. I checked with my go-to-guy and he agreed. Happy planting.

A:  Hi, yes these barrel type planters are perfect for fruit and avocado trees. Just make sure you get the right size.

A:  Avocados grow super fast during summer months when they get a lot of sun, water and nutrients. This may be enough for 1 or 2 max as their root system will get intertwined which will make it difficult to separate later if you want to re-pot them. For 1 this is pretty good.

A:  Yes it can if you set it up correctly.

A:  Not sure what type of fountain equipment you have, but I would think the barrel would hold water just fine if you don't take out the rubber plugs. But I don't personally know that for certain.

A:  These have a tight fitting plug in the bottom that is pushed out for it to drain. If you were to seal the plug in with aquarium grade silicone it should work for you as a fountain. Dennis Ellison
