The best trees to grow in pots can add much needed interest to patios, courtyards and other areas of your back yard.

With both deciduous and evergreen options, offering various leaf color, fruit and flowers through the seasons, potted trees are versatile container gardening ideas.

Growing pots in trees is a way to zone a secluded seating or dining area as a patio idea, flowering trees can add color and scent, while citrus or olive trees are ideal if you want to create a Mediterranean-style garden.

One of the big advantages is that you can grow tree species that wouldn't usually suit the growing conditions in your hardiness zone as the best trees to grow in pots can be moved indoors in colder months. 

The best trees to grow in pots

Many different trees can thrive in pots, so look beyond the local garden center for inspiration. You could choose one of the best indoor trees that you move outdoors in warmer months to surround yourself with nature year round.

'There are many types of trees you can grow in pots and containers,' says small space gardening expert Emilly Barbosa Fernandes of Housegrail . 'They instantly brighten up any garden, and can become the main focal point.'

If you want a low-maintenance planting scheme, then the best trees to grow in pots must be compatible with your local climate, and require minimal pruning. An advantage of planting trees in pots is that you can control their soil type – perhaps growing an acid-loving tree in a chalky soil, or creating free-draining conditions in a garden with heavy clay soil.

Consider where you want the tree to be positioned in your garden, as whether it will sit in full sun or receive some shade will be a factor in which varieties will be suitable.

It's important to look at the maximum size of a tree species, and how many years it will take to reach maturity. Some trees are suited to pots for their whole life, while other slow-growing varieties can have a long pot life before needing to be eventually planted in the ground as part of your flower bed ideas.  

Trees have hungry, thirsty roots, so container size is also key. Ensure you invest in a pot that's big enough for your chosen tree to flourish.

Remember that a tree planted in a pot will dry out more quickly than in the ground, and the smaller the pot size, the more often you will have to water it. 

1. Peach tree

Enjoy a delicious home harvest of fruit by growing a peach tree in a container. These are among the best fruit trees to grow, and ideal for trees to grow in pots, particularly as you can move the container to the sunniest and warmest positions throughout the year. 

You will need a fairly large container for growing a peach tree – although not so large that you can not easily move it when required. Good drainage is important, so either add some crocs or stones to the bottom of a container, or raise it up on pot feet to aid drainage.

'You will need to water peach trees grown in pots almost every day in the growing season, and repot them every few years' explains Guy Barter, chief horticulturist at the RHS .

2. Crab apple tree

Producing lovely pink blossom in spring, followed by their ornamental fruits in fall, crab apples are among the best trees to grow in pots.

When planting crab apples in containers, use a pot that is approximately 12-15in. (30-40cm), in a good quality and free draining loam based compost, explain the experts at Pomona Fruits .

Keep them well watered in the first growing season, watering them daily in warmer weather. They are also among the best trees for autumn color.

3. Amelanchier

A small, compact deciduous tree, amelanchier – known by a number of other names including juneberry, shadbush and sarvisberry – offers interest through the seasons. It produces lovely starry white flowers in spring, red and purple berries in summer through to fall, and its bronze tinged young leaves turn through green to the fiery colors of orange and red, making this undoubtedly one of the best trees to grow in pots .

Amelanchier prefers a spot in full sun, so move the container to the best spot throughout the year. Plant bare root trees for the most economical option, in ericaceous compost in a large pot.

4. Japanese maple tree

Japanese maples trees – or acer palmatum – are ideal for smaller gardens, as they are slow growing and require minimal pruning or training.  They also offer lovely fall color.

‘With a variety of showy cascades in foliage and colors ranging from vibrant greens to deep blood reds, this is a showcase tree for container growing,’ says Tammy Sons, owner of Tennessee Nursery .

‘Japanese maple trees do not grow to extreme heights, seldom reaching over 15 feet. My favorite varieties are 'Crimson Queen' and 'Bloodgood', with their added attribute of spectacular fall foliage.’

Meanwhile, Lisa Tadewaldt, arborist and owner of Urban Forest Pro , particularly favors the dwarf maple 'Sharp's Pygmy'. ‘They can live in a pot for hundreds of years,' she says. 'You can ignore them or pamper them – either way they always look great. This is a favorite of serious bonsai artists, and what I personally have on my deck in pots.’

Position Japanese maples in a cool spot that receives some shade during the hottest part of the day, and water regularly in the summer. They are perfect to include for Japanese garden ideas.

5. Lemon tree

‘I always think there is something very romantic about a lemon tree growing in a pot,’ says Aaron Bertelsen, author of Grow Fruit & Vegetables in Pots . ‘Perhaps it is the way the scent of the blossom fills a room, or the knowledge that rich people in the past would build dedicated lemon houses to shelter their highly prized trees.’

While lemon trees make fantastic house plants during the winter, they can grow happily outdoors during the spring and summer. This is why planting them in pots is the best solution, so you can bring them indoors in frosty weather.

You can even learn how to grow lemon from seed, to surround yourself with these uplifting trees.

‘Lemons are hungry plants, so make sure you use a good, soil-based compost, adding some grit or sharp sand to improve drainage,’ adds Bertelsen, who recommends the Meyer variety as it flowers throughout the year.

Make sure you understand how to prune lemon trees to get the best out of them, and let them dry out between waterings.

6. Dwarf conifers

Larger conifers are some of the best trees for privacy and screening in a backyard, but there are a number of smaller species that are perfect for pots.

Some recommended conifers to consider are dwarf varieties of cypress trees, yew trees, mountain pines, and Chinese juniper.

‘They are not top-heavy and have an equal branch structure from the central leader to the top,’ says Sons. 

‘Evergreen conifers also offer year-round beauty and they can successfully be trimmed back in order for them to not overwhelm the container. ’ 

7. Crepe Myrtle

(Image credit: Biosphoto / Alamy Stock Photo)

Crepe myrtle – or crape myrtle – is a striking tree that offers year-round interest, and grows very well in pots.

‘This beautiful tree has large trumpet-shaped flowers that often have an orange tint to them,’ says Lindsey Hyland, founder of Urban Organic Yield . 'Crape myrtles also have good fall color, with attractive peeling bark. I love how the branches are always thick enough to handle being in pots.’

Choose from flowers of white, pink or purple, which bloom from late spring through summer. Some varieties flower until the first frost in fall.

Crepe myrtle trees need full sun to thrive, and in frost-prone areas will need to be overwintered in a greenhouse or conservatory. Learn how to prune crepe myrtle to keep your trees looking their best.

8. Bay tree

As well as creating a sculptural feature, bay trees are aromatic herbs that have wonderfully scented leaves that can be used in cooking fresh or dried.

Bay trees look particularly stunning in pairs flanking a doorway, or can be positioned next to seating areas on the patio for outdoor dining ideas. They thrive in containers and can be clipped into attractive ball or pyramid topiary shapes.

‘A bay tree is very easy to look after, provided you give it a good sunny spot and feed it regularly,’ says Bertelsen. ‘Prune every spring, both to keep it at the size you want it and to reduce any congestion.’

It’s a good idea to repot bay trees every few years to keep them healthy and encourage fresh growth. Bay trees are an excellent choice for planter box ideas.

9. Banana tree

Banana trees are some of the best trees to grow in pots if you want to add a tropical garden idea to your patio. But bear in mind if you are growing a banana tree in the garden this will generally be for their ornamental leaves, rather than for fruit, unless you live in a climate of at least 60ºF (15°C) for most of the year.

‘If you live in a cooler climate, then a banana tree still brings a taste of tropics to your landscaping,’ says Tadewaldt. ‘The growth of these trees is usually stunted by the colder weather enough that they can live in the pot for an extended period of time.'

Smaller varieties of banana tree are particularly well suited to climates with colder winters, as they can be brought inside and enjoyed as a houseplant. 

10. Rhododendron

As well as the popular shrubs, rhododendrons are also available in tree form – R. arboreum. Although after several decades they can eventually reach great heights of over 40 feet, they are slow-growing trees that will live happily for years in a pot, so it is worth learning how to grow rhododendrons.

‘I really like rhododendron – it is such a pretty flowering tree with red and white flowers in the summer,’ says Hyland. As an evergreen tree, it possesses attractive dark green leaves year round.

‘My favorite thing about it is its ability to thrive in stunted, acidic, or shallow soil conditions.’

Be sure you know how to prune rhododendron to keep your potted specimens under control.

11. Olive tree

If you want to create a Mediterranean garden, olive trees are ideal and perfectly suited to growing in containers, as they can be moved to safety during excessively cold winters.

‘Olive trees are not fond of winter, so make sure to cover them if you know a frost is coming,’ says Barbosa Fernandes.

‘They love warmth and sun, and they also do well in dry areas. However, they do need the right conditions to produce olives.’ 

In order for the trees to fruit, they will need two months with temperatures below 50°F (10°C), but above 14°F (-10°C), as well as fluctuation between day and night temperatures. Although self-fertile, olive trees benefit from cross pollination.

‘If you don’t have the right conditions to grow olives, don’t be too disappointed, as they’re such elegant evergreen trees,’ says Barbosa Fernandes. ‘Fertilize them in the spring for the best results.’

You also need to know how to prune olive trees to improve their shape and increase the chances of fruit production.

12. Wedding Cake Tree

Also known as Cornus controversa 'Variegata', the wedding cake tree is a variegated dogwood tree. 

‘The white in the leaves adds interest and it naturally grows in layers – like the layers of a cake, hence its name – and pruning will help to emphasize this form,’ says Tadewaldt.

However, regular pruning isn’t essential, and as the tree is slow-growing, it will live happily in its pot for a long time, as long as the soil is fertile. 

‘Eventually, however, this tree will outgrow the pot and need to be transplanted,’ adds Tadewaldt.

13. Apple tree

Smaller varieties of apple tree are perfect for growing in pots on the patio. Not only are varieties grown on dwarf rootstock usually quicker to fruit, but they are often better quality than larger trees.

When choosing a variety of apple tree, you need to consider pollination. ‘Self-fertile cultivars are available, although it’s generally recommended to have at least two different partner trees nearby for cross-pollination,' explains Period Living’s gardening expert Leigh Clapp.

When planting apple trees in pairs, 'opt for different varieties of apple tree that flower at the same time.'

If you only have room for one apple tree, Red Falstaff is a great choice as it is heavy cropping and very hardy. Apples trees are among the best fast growing fruit trees so you will enjoy a well sized tree before you know it.

14. Starry magnolia

While most types of magnolia will grow too large to plant in pots, starry magnolia is a more compact, bushy tree that produces the most beautiful white, star-shaped flowers.

The tree flowers in the spring and exudes a delicate fragrance, adding a romantic air to a patio seating area.

Position starry magnolia in a sheltered spot, and plant in neutral to acid soil that is well drained.

When established, they are low maintenance, and require only mulching in spring, and learn how to prune a magnolia tree lightly in the summer.

15. Kumquat

Citrus trees make for some of the best indoor trees, but you can grow them outside in the right climates. 

‘If you’ve never tried kumquat, then you most definitely should – you can eat the entire thing, skin and all,’ says Barbosa Fernandes. 

Producing small orange fruits and flowers that bloom in the summer, these compact  trees can be easily grown in pots, and are one of the hardiest citrus fruits.

‘Position them in full sun, and plant in moist, well-draining soil. However, you don’t need to worry about cross-pollination or cold weather killing it down to 18°F (-8°C),’ adds Barbosa Fernandes.

What trees can remain in pots?

Trees can remain in pots indefinitely if you can find a container large enough to accommodate their maximum mature size. Otherwise, you will need to plant them in the ground when they grow too large.

Opt for dwarf varieties of container-friendly trees, such as Japanese maples and small conifers. Bay trees, small citrus trees and olive trees are also good options.

Bear in mind that most trees will need potting on to a larger container every few years, when they have outgrown their pot.

Can trees survive in pots over winter?

Some trees can survive in pots over winter, but this will largely depend on your local climate. 

In warmer regions, for example, citrus trees can stay outside year round, but in regions that experience cold winter nights of below 50°F (10°C), they will need to be brought inside.

Japanese maple trees are excellent choices for pots in most climates, and can survive very cold winters where temperatures reach as low as -20°F (-28°C).

What are the best evergreen trees for pots?

There are a number of best evergreen trees for pots. These include Rhododendron arboreum, bay trees, conifers, Japanese holly and Italian cypress – to name but a few. There are many other options you can find to suit the conditions in your garden and area where you live.

How do I plant screening trees for privacy in containers?

It’s a question asked of us frequently but generally a tree confined to a life in a pot doesn’t work out well. Trees are big and complex organisms and their root systems need a lot of soil volume to colonize to maintain a mature canopy. It is estimated that a big tree such as an Oak or Hornbeam needs a minimum of 30m3 of soil for the roots to fulfil the tree’s potential. Even the smallest of trees such as a Crab Apple or Japanese Cherry would need 10m3.

And that’s a big pot if you want trees where there is no soil to plant them!

Once a tree is confined within a container too small for it to grow, the roots circle within the confines to become a block of wood and good for nothing. The top of the tree lingers and slowly declines, looking ugly and not fulfilling your original objective. The root system also runs out of nutrient and because the majority of the soil volume is taken up by root it is a devil to get the container to hold water so the tree suffers with drought. To cap it all, in very cold winters the soil in the container freezes solid as it is above ground and not insulated like soil under an expansive ground level. This leads to a condition where the tree ‘freezes dry’ in that the plant cannot take up water as it is all in the form of ice.

So, with all that in mind we don’t advise keeping trees confined in containers. It’s like keeping a tiger in a small cage and they are too precious a resource to mitigate against climate change to waste in this way. In our opinion!

But it’s not all doom and gloom, there is an answer!

I was faced with very poor privacy from our gravel driveway to our garden. There was a strip in front of the cars that I converted to the biggest raise planting bed I could fit in using old oak sleepers and in the end I managed to create an environment that held about 4m3 of our Barcham Blend compost. I was fortunate that the planter went on top of free draining gavel as this wouldn’t work on tarmac or concrete. Eventually, in wet winters the planter would fill up with water if there was nowhere for it to go and the plants within it would drown. The soil / compost you fill the planter with has to be coarse to avoid compaction. A fine compost / loam will gently settle over the years of watering to squeeze the oxygen out. Roots need water and oxygen blended in measure to thrive.

I filled my raised planter with our medium sized Phyllostachys aurea, Golden bamboo. This plant is very invasive, suckering up all over the place so it is perfect for the confines of a raised planter. It gave me day one screening and a year down the line it has made a tremendous difference to the privacy in our garden. The beauty of bamboo is that you can coppice it down to ground level in early April and it will regrow to over two metres again in a matter of months. When it gets too raggedy I will do this, probably when my family aren’t looking. If you do this on a three to five year cycle it retains a lush and great evergreen screen. And, importantly, sustainable for growing in the confines of a container or raised planter that holds a minimum of 3m3. The bigger your container is, the more soil volume it holds and the better your result.

PS There are plenty of options for buying containers of planters bespoke to fit your area. Just google the term ‘raised planter’ and this will get you started.

Fruit trees in pots and containers: how to plant and grow

You can set up your own orchard even on the terrace by growing mini fruit trees in pots.

Who among us has not dreamed at least sometimes of our own orchard? To admire fragrant flowers in May, and to harvest a sweet harvest in autumn? Do you think this requires a really large plot and many years of tireless work? We have good news: modern agricultural technologies make it possible to set up a real fruit plantation in a very small area, and these small trees will begin to bear fruit very soon after planting. We tell you what fruit trees in pots you can buy and grow even on an open balcony and what you need for this. nine0003

How to plant fruit trees in pots

The most important thing you need to plant a mini fruit tree at home is a large pot. Such fruit trees are usually sold either "bare root" - just a plant without soil - or in 20-40 liter containers. As they grow, the trees should be transplanted into large 95-115 liter pots by transshipment so as not to damage the roots.

Indoor mini fruit trees are usually planted in two containers. The first is a pot, often plastic, into which soil is poured and a tree is planted. Usually it is not more than 50 cm in diameter. The second is decorative, for example, wooden or ceramic. Many choose them so that they match in size and fit into each other without a gap. But in fact, such a gap will be beneficial. Due to the air layer, the soil will heat up more slowly in hot weather and cool down in cold weather. Also, excess water will go into this free space during irrigation and gradually soak into the soil, preventing it from drying out. nine0003

You will also need to purchase a support to which you will tie your indoor fruit tree in a pot - the wide leaves of most fruit trees literally "catch" the wind, and the tree can bend or break.

Pots with legs and pallets will help to preserve the durability of the pots and the life of the plants. Pay attention to the presence of drainage holes to prevent stagnant water at the roots of an indoor mini fruit tree in a pot.

The best time to plant fruit trees in pots is from mid-autumn to early spring. nine0003

How to grow fruit trees in pots

Mini fruit trees in pots are not only a decorative landscaping technique, but also a tasty crop. To do this, plant dwarf varieties of plums, apple and pear trees, apricot and peach trees. All of them will need nutritious soil, plenty of compost, occasional drainage, and abundant watering. Use mulch to slow the evaporation of water from the pot. And do not forget to cut the fruits in time so that thin branches do not break under their weight. Sometimes this has to be done even before the final ripening, so as not to harm the tree. nine0003

Fruit trees in containers that are located in an open area are best placed in light shade. The sun's rays falling on them most of the day can cause burns to wood and leaves. For the winter, plants that do not have winter hardiness should be transferred indoors. But even more hardy trees need to be protected from frost. The soil in pots freezes more than in the ground. Therefore, with the advent of cold weather, flowerpots should be insulated with insulating material.

If you bought a mini fruit tree just for your home, you need to make sure that it is not in a draft or near heating appliances. Lighting should also be taken into account, which should not be too much, but sufficient for normal plant growth. It is under the influence of sunlight that fruits accumulate sugar and become sweet. nine0003

Since fruit trees, even dwarf ones, are perennials that live and bear fruit for several years, choose potting mixes that release nutrients slowly.

Feed potted fruit trees every two weeks from flowering until mid-autumn with high potassium formulations such as liquid algae and water them well. It's a good idea to mulch the surface of the soil (such as perlite or vermiculite) to retain moisture. nine0003

Varieties of mini fruit trees in pots

You can create a fruit garden from mini potted trees even at home on a balcony, terrace or in a small area. We offer you the most popular types.

Apple trees

This is perhaps the most common of all mini fruit trees in pots. Apple trees are loved, among other things, because these trees can grow both as a bush and as a tree, and therefore they can also be used for additional decoration of your site or terrace. nine0003

Pears

The biggest danger when growing pears is late frost. These homemade fruit trees in pots bloom quite early, and our May night cold snap can kill the flowers. To reduce the risk, cover flowering branches with light fleece overnight - this will save the future crop.

Cherry trees

As we mentioned above, cherry trees are self-fertile, and therefore just one plant is enough for a harvest. But the biggest problem is the birds that happily peck at your berries. Try installing a net around a mini fruit tree in a pot - nothing is guaranteed, but sometimes it helps. And keep in mind: the shadier the side on which the cherry grows, the more tart the berries will turn out. nine0003

Plums

An almost perfect mini fruit tree in a pot, especially for those who can't spend much time in the country or simply don't want to mess around with the care too much. Pruning is minimal, the trees are self-fertile, and therefore one is enough. The only thing you need is to thin out the ripening fruits, otherwise the yield will be uneven: very large in one year and practically zero in the next.

( By the way: Poor compatibility: which vegetables, trees and shrubs should not be planted next to each other)

Peach and apricot trees

These trees, like plum trees, require almost no pruning and do not need partners for pollination. But you need to remember that their ovary is very tender, and they love to bloom exactly on the eve of frost. Try covering the flowering branches of a mini tree in a pot at night - and train your calmness.

By the way, if you want to increase the yield of your mini fruit tree, try the following hack: when the flowers open, gently blot the pollen with a soft brush and rub it into the surrounding flower. nine0003

Have you tried growing fruit trees in tubs?

Fig Trees

Even if you are not a big fan of figs, we still recommend that you pay attention to these mini fruit trees in pots: their wide leaves exude a bright and very pleasant aroma. Also, the fig tree likes to have its roots limited and therefore is great for growing in pots.

If you don't think our climate is too good for figs, try protecting the young fruit with plastic sleeves (just leave the sleeve open so the fruit can breathe). All fruits larger than peas should be removed by autumn, and at the beginning of summer, growing shoots of a fruit tree in a pot should be pinched so that only five leaves remain on each shoot. nine0003

Orange and tangerine trees

Calamondin is a small beautiful tree, obtained by crossing a tangerine tree and a kumquat, perhaps the best choice for beginner gardeners. Mini fruit trees bloom almost continuously (and exude a lovely, slightly pungent aroma), and the small fruits, though too sour to eat raw, are great for marmalade or lemonade. Finally, orange and tangerine trees can be grown indoors in a pot - they do well indoors. nine0003

How to grow an indoor tree: taking care of a house plant

Indoor trees are no longer a curiosity in interior design. They are actively used by designers to make the interior of the house truly unique. Houseplants in pots can bring zest and natural “mood” to the design. At the same time, it is important that the prices for them are acceptable, which means that everyone can buy them. nine0003

1. Caring for indoor trees

But remember that indoor trees are not only useful and beautiful. They require careful care. Unfortunately, many novice flower growers treat indoor trees with insufficient responsibility, which ultimately leads to the death of plants. There is one simple advice - choose only those varieties of indoor trees that are not only attractive in appearance, but also unpretentious in care.

Looking into the flower shop, you can find a real variety of trees. Take a closer look at which one you like the most, but do not forget to consult the seller about the nuances of keeping it in the apartment:

An attentive and experienced seller will easily tell you about the rules of maintenance and care, and upon purchase he will give a small memo, which will describe the agrotechnical requirements of the type and variety of the plant.

Many growers refer to indoor trees as tub or barrel plants. The fact is that earlier it was difficult to find large pots, vases or containers on sale. At the same time, the trees were grown in special wooden barrels, which are also called tubs. It is noteworthy that even now such containers do not lose their relevance. They bring a special flavor to the interior, while due to the large capacity they do not require frequent plant transplants. nine0003

Barrel or tub plants include large-sized houseplants, the height of which ranges from fifty centimeters to two to three meters. As a rule, these are shrubs, decorative and deciduous species, representatives of fruit crops, as well as certain varieties of ferns.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the general rules for caring for indoor trees, the observance of which will allow you to enjoy the beauty of plants and observe their active growth:

Many beginner growers do not think about the fact that during the holiday season they are likely to be absent from home. Well, if it's only a week. And with a longer vacation, you need to think about how to create the most favorable conditions for the plant for this period. A week before departure, remove all diseased and affected leaves and shoots from the plant. If necessary, treat the tree with medicinal preparations. nine0003

Just before leaving, think over the irrigation system - it can be simple options with buckets and gauze, as well as modern automatic irrigation systems. Of course, they are more expensive, but they are more reliable, more practical and easier to use. Recently, special capillary mats have become popular, which do an excellent job with the issue of soil moisture.

Indoor tree is not only beautiful, but also troublesome. In order to minimize care for him, it is better to think over his place in advance. Remember that trees grow quickly and after a while they can become crowded. If the issue of free space is acute, then pay attention to a palm tree or a beacon. They do not “stretch up” so quickly, while they look beautiful. On sale there are also special preparations that inhibit the growth of plants. They are called retardants. nine0003

Creative individuals should pay attention to indoor trees, which can be shaped into crowns. For example, ficus, laurel or aucuba. Remember that large plants are difficult to move. Do not be stingy and buy special carts to which the pots are screwed. In this case, transporting a tree will not be difficult.

Many flower growers plant small plants in a large tub next to a tree. It is noteworthy that this is not only beautiful, but will also benefit the “big brother”.
