Choosing the right planter size is important for plant health. Generally, you’ll want a planter that’s 1–2 inches larger in diameter than your plant’s root ball for smaller plants, and 2–4 inches larger for larger plants. This provides enough room for growth without too much excess soil.

For small gardens or patios, exotic fruit trees such as fig or citrus trees work great due to their smaller size - though if you want something more traditional - a dwarf apple tree also does well.
