Default fruit tree to grow in the balcony

Things like peaches cannot be grown in pots, since the most dwarfing possible
is a semi-dwarf tree which grows to about twelve

them small, but it is not a good practice.


I've had a dwarf peach growing in a pot for years, first in Seattle and now in
Georgia.

I've never hard-pruned, never had any disease problems. And the fruit is full-sized.
