What is the easiest tree to grow in a container?
Crape Myrtles Not only will these trees be continuously in flower all summer long, but since they are very drought hardy they will survive a little neglect and happily grow in a container for many years. The cherry-red Dynamite Crape Myrtle is one of the best choices for a container, growing to perhaps 10 feet tall. For a long-blooming tree, it’s hard to top crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia). Most Southerners know that crape myrtle blooms literally all summer long, says arborist Doug Still.
What evergreen tree grows the fastest?
We carry a number of fast-growing evergreens, which are defined as growing at least two feet or more per year—but evergreens that are part of the Arborvitae family, like the Thuja Green Giant and Emerald Green, are known some of the fastest growers, making them incredibly versatile in the landscape. Green Giant Arborvitae This is an exceptional landscape tree for use as a screen, hedge or single specimen. It is also resistant to wind once established and can withstand heavy ice or snow, making it a good choice for a natural windbreak. Grows up to 3′ per year. Hardiness zones 5–7.
