I'm looking for free advice (again),
this time on recommendations for pot plants or shrubs
(or even small trees?) to grow in very large pots (terracotta)
on a balcony in Tuscany.

Also if anyone has advice (or a pointer) on the best way
to set up plants in pots I would be very grateful,
eg what kind of compost, should fertilizer be added
(I don't adhere to the organic religion), etc.




My way of thinking is to have fruiting trees, everything else is just
not justifiable. That is my opinion.
You can buy fruit trees (dwarf?) to fit pots but would need regular
watering, and I mean regular if they are to fruit.

If you did but such a tree the instructions will be given on how to grow
properly and into pruning etc.

Hope this helps and good luck with what you do.
