Thank you all so much for your input. One unexpected side effect is
that i told my wife I was seeking the advice on the internet and one
person thought it "cruel" to limit me to three. Wife relented. YE
HA! I think I can squeeze in up to ten now.

In all fairness, I have also had a large quantity of Citrus planted in
the back yard as well as a huge lawn. I have been allowed almost
everything I want back there as well as a tremendous built in BBQ with
bar seating for ten.

My wife is unhappy with the placement of her Avocado tree and the fact
that I prefer NOT to have an Ficus Benjamina leave the pots for more
permanent homes in my lawn.
