What You Need To Know About Dwarf Trees

What are Dwarf Trees?

We consider any tree that grows to 15 feet tall or less a dwarf tree. We have included ornamental trees, evergreen trees, flowering trees, and dwarf fruit trees in this section. Small trees are great for any landscape or garden, especially ones with limited space. Read about our Top Ten Dwarf Trees.

What are the Hardiest Ornamental Dwarf Trees?

Japanese Maples are the hardiest Dwarf Ornamental Trees. They grow in most climates in the United States and are adaptable to just about any soil. Knock Out Rose trees and the dwarf varieties of Redbud and Magnolia trees are also exceptionally hardy Dwarf Flowering Trees.

Can You Grow Dwarf Trees in Pots?

Small trees are perfect for containers. Any of the trees you see in this section can be grown in pots. 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.

What are the Best Dwarf Evergreen Trees for Privacy?

Our top pick for a small Evergreen privacy tree is the Emerald Green Arborvitae. This exceptional tree is great for privacy, cold hardy, pest and disease resistant, and low maintenance. It grows 10 to 15 feet tall and about 4 feet wide. Holly trees and the Blue Point Juniper are also great small Evergreen Trees for privacy.

Can Dwarf Fruit Trees be Grown Indoors?

Can You Grow Dwarf Trees in Pots?

Dwarf fruit trees like Meyer Lemons, Key Limes, and Fig trees are great for growing indoors if you have a bright enough spot. Dwarf Citrus Trees love humidity so mist them daily or use a humidifier.

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 Ttrees as well. Be sure to provide plenty of water when planting in summer and add a nice thick layer of mulch when winter planting.
