Hello,
I am looking for a tree or shrub that will grow well in a pot to provide shade in my backyard – it is not possible to actually plant it in the ground, as there is no room. It would need to be a deciduous tree, as the there is limited sun during the winter months.
Thank you,
Carmen Harris
Answer:
Sorry Carmen, but potted trees don’t grow big enough to provide shade. Why is there no room? Don
