Trees for pots & containers
Some small trees can be very effective grown in a pot. The roots will be restricted by the container, so the tree will never reach the same mature size as it would if planted in the ground. Trees in pots need regular watering and feeding to stay healthy. Choose a container that has drainage holes in the bottom and that is an appropriate size for the rootball.
