Default A tree for my firstborn

Hello all first time posting here!

Ok we would like some help/suggestions in chossing a tree for our baby boy born back in september

Things to note we have small garden(real suntrap),we will be moving next year or so,so we wish to keep it in a pot for now to be planted in the ground when we move.

Perhaps a fruit tree?? something the family can really share in the future.?
Any ideas????

Many thanks

What about a nice Victoria Plum? They are not too big and your child
will have endless pleasure in future years in picking the fruit. Its
a lovely idea in planting a tree. Well done

Do you know what you are moving to? Permanent?

Two come to mind: a mulberry, and either a Bramley or a Charles Ross
apple. Dem tree make a good pair..)

The Charles Ross produces gigantic apples which are excellent eaters and
good cookers.

A beautiful apple but our tree isn't doing well after seventy years ...

I have one on my shopping-list for the coming year. Just where to put it
though....

How about an urglers' gruntforce descent on East Angular?

Bring Kango-hammers for concrete path - or should I just use it as a
foundation for the York stone crazy paving? Nah, not good for planting
thymes etc between the flags. Plan 1: bring big Kango.

I have a pick and a mattock, and all the other necessary tools.

When shall we start?
