I LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA HAVE A VERY SMALL YARD HAS MORNING SUN AND I WOULD LIKE TO PLANT A DWARF TREE IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND ONE IN MY YARD. EVERYTHING I GROW MUST BE IN CONTAINERS. I WANT MY YARD TO BE LIKE GOING ON A VACATION. |
A Japanese maple or a dwarf Alberta spruce would do very well in a container with morning sun. These trees both tend to grow very slowly. Smaller varieties of crabapple as well as ornamental pears would also do well in containers and would provide a spring floral display, but would outgrow the container more quickly. The larger the container you use, the better their chances for being healthy and surviving more than a year. |
