A very good friend has repeatedly gone above and beyond in recent months to help us out and I’d like to thank her with something special. She is a pretty keen gardener and cook and I thought that a lovely fruit tree would be nice. I have no idea where to begin, however. Could I possibly ask for some suggestions based on these criteria?
- in a pot, and happy to stay there - the family has to relocate every few years so nothing that needs to be planted out
- Something that will flourish in either a north-West facing back garden, or look attractive and do well on the south-east facing front
- Something that will fruit in a Midlands climate.
- Non-toxic for small children and cats
Budget around £50 but happy to spend a bit more for something perfect. I wondered about a fig but I don’t know how reliably they fruit here?
Very very grateful for any suggestions, and bonus points for ideas of good suppliers.
