    Hi

    We are wanting to have a nice tree we can put in a container and place on our decking.

    We have a 40cm by 40cm square container and are looking for something that will have nice colourful flowers on it but not really bushy.

    Ideally it would be something that doesnt branch off a lot or grow more than 6ft

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I love acers in tubs, loads to choose from to get best colour and shape.
    However if flowers are important how about a rhodedendron, beautiful flowers, different colours and sizes.

    Cheers

    was looking for something that was more twiggy with flowers.

    I have the image in my head but no idea what tree it looks like as new to gardening.

    Anymore suggestions from anyone?
