Now that the weather is finally warming up a little bit, it’s time to get your patio back into shape. Uncover the seating area and bring out the spring décor. If you’re looking for something to add to your patio space, consider choosing a small tree that can be grown in a container or in the ground next to your patio. When you’re picking out a tree, make sure to investigate how large it will grow, if it bears fruit, if it’ll drop leaves everywhere, and anything else you might need to know. Here are our three favorite small trees to give your patio new life this spring.
Ficus Tree
Ficus trees can become huge when grown in the wild, but it’s mainly kept as a potted indoor/outdoor houseplant domestically. It’s known for stunning bright green leaves and thin arching branches. The Ficus tree can survive outside in cold weather when there isn’t a frost threat. When there is frost, keeping it potted in a small to medium-sized container can help when you bring it inside.
Sweet Bay Tree
The Sweet Bay Tree is very distinctive in its’ appearance. It features a long, thin trunk that goes up into circular foliage of leaves at the top. The leaves are dark green in color when healthy, and they smell amazing. This is the tree that produces the bay leaves that many people use when cooking. It’s a wonderful, fragrant choice for a container on a patio.
