fruit tree to grow in the balcony
Plenty of fruit trees can grow in pots. For your location, you need something
that is suitable for a warmer climate. There are many apple varieties, for
example,
that are suitable for the Southern USA.
Size of tree should be a big consideration. If you buy a tree, be sure it is on
extreme dwarfing rootstock, or the tree will get too big for the pot. For
apples,
the most common extreme dwarfing rootstock is M27, which will produce a
small tree about 6 feet high. Things like peaches cannot be grown in pots,
since
the most dwarfing possible is a semi-dwarf tree which grows to about twelve
feet plus high. Some people claim you can prune the hell out of them to keep
them small, but it is not a good practice.
