Let us guide you in everything you need to know about growing container fruit trees.
Container-Grown Trees or Patio Trees
Planting or growing trees in containers is popular in southern California. High property values in San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange County and surrounding areas means many homes were built to maximize the size of the house on the lot, leaving landscapes with little or no outside space to plant trees. The good news is you don’t need a large property to grow a great tree (or trees)! Container-grown trees are great on porches, balconies, entryways, decks and patios.
Imagine a tropical fruit tree with fresh fruit for breakfast right outside your balcony or patio door
even in community housing where the land is commonly-owned and you can’t plant anything of your own
even if you are renting your home
even if you are planning to move soon and want to be able to take this tree with you
working (realistically) with nature
