Thanks, bit!
On the tree thing, I missed saying that I will have to build a ramp about 8 inches up to the back door. So what I have pictured in my head is some self built RECTANGULAR planters that I can fit on my "dolly" aka "hand truck" like the ones people unload delivery trucks with. Ideally for the lifting part, they would be 29" by something much less than that ..... the skinnier the better for my ability to tilt the hand truck.....
My question is: are there ANY trees that can live and survive an indoor winter in such a small container and still produce fruit??? And if so, HOW do I light and heat them in the basement???
I know, it's complicated.....
