Potted Trees. Which Is Best To Grow To 7-8ft And How Big Should The Pot Be?

Question

The tree would be in the corner of the garden which is fairly shaded for around 70% of the day. We would like it to grow to around 7-8ft high. Would like something that would encourage birds into the garden if possible.

Answer 1

You didn't mention the size of the tree you'll be purchasing. If it's two or three feet to begin with, a 5-gallon pot is typical. If you're planning to plant an already full-grown tree, your pot should be 15 gallons. If you plant to transplant as the tree grows, only graduate a couple pot sizes at a time.
