For those who live on the balcony, the following fruit trees can be planted:
Orange trees are not afraid of freezing and are very suitable for the weather here. There is no problem in other places. Considering the limited balcony area, I chose a small orange tree with small fruits. If you put it outside on the balcony in winter, the leaves will still be green and not afraid of freezing. In spring and autumn, pay attention to fertilizing and adding some soil. As for insect pests, we have not encountered them yet. We just encountered some oversized caterpillars eating leaves a few days ago, and they were caught and eliminated instantly.
Lemons, if you grow them at home, it is not difficult to produce fruits. I have seen many gardeners and flower lovers grow them, and they produce fruits indoors. Moreover, although the process of naturally mature lemons is slow, it is very satisfying and tastes much better than bought ones. Friends who usually like to eat lemons and use lemons can try various ways.
Pomegranate, I highly recommend everyone to plant this. It was still a small seedling when I bought it, and it has grown to more than one meter tall in two years. Remember to prune in the fall and add some fertilizer. If the flowerpot is too small, replace it with a larger one in time. Place it in a ventilated place, otherwise it will be easy for whiteflies to grow. Even if there are whiteflies, don't worry. Just prune off the branches with insects and buy some insecticide.
Peach tree, I planted this one as a small ornamental potted plant in a flower pot. It blooms beautifully. It won't grow very big. But the fruit is not big and a bit sour. The flowerpot for planting peach trees also needs to be larger and more breathable to avoid soil compaction. You can add some cinders and coarse sand into it. Put more organic fertilizer as base fertilizer.
Wolfberry, wolfberry is also a relatively cold-resistant plant. I planted it in a flower pot and did not take care of it for several years, but it grew better. At that time, I dug up a wild tree and planted it. Unexpectedly, it flourished. Later, I also saw friends who like potted bonsai. They used wolfberry trees that had grown for many years to create bonsais of various shapes, which also had a unique taste. The knotted wolfberries can be soaked in water to make tea and are also of ornamental value.
The key to passion fruit is that the fruit is cute, like a small bell. This is more suitable for warmer temperatures, so it needs to be placed on the balcony in winter. It is easier to propagate. In spring or early autumn, go to the home of a relative or friend who has planted it, cut off a branch, and put the cutting into a pot mixed with sand. After a while, it will grow roots and survive.
Persimmon trees are also suitable for planting in yards or terraces. Later it will grow bigger and bigger. No care is required, just fertilize regularly. But it is very suitable for growing in a climate like Central China. I often see it in other people’s homes with yards. Almost everyone has a tree at home, and the fruits are big and beautiful. It is a relatively easy fruit tree to grow. If you have a large area, you might consider it.
Jujube tree, considering that it can grow into a very large tree when it grows up, it is suitable to be planted in a larger yard. Jujube trees are very suitable for the weather here, so don't water them too much. Ordinary soil will suffice. Likes sunshine and is not suitable for shaded areas. If it bears fruit, it will be more delicious. There are also loquats, which are suitable for planting in places with small yards or large terraces. The balcony area may be a bit small. No need to think about it.
