What are the Hardiest Ornamental Dwarf Trees?

We recommend growing Fruit Trees, like Figs, Meyer Lemons and Key Limes, small Flowering Trees, like Dwarf Crape Myrtles, Rose Trees, Hydrangea Trees, and Hibiscus Trees, Ornamental Trees like Japanese Maples and Tropical Palms, and dwarf Evergreen Trees, like the Dwarf Alberta Spruce in pots.

When to Plant Dwarf Trees

Plant Dwarf Trees in spring and fall for best results in most areas. However if you have mild summers or winters planting at those times is fine for most Dwarf Trees as well. Be sure to provide plenty of water when planting in summer and add a nice thick layer of mulch when winter planting.
