Helpful information; could be made about 1/2 that length though.

So what if you want to have it grow really tall?

[Mamasan41]

Grow an avocado tree!! They grow about 60 feet tall. You also have to buy a ladder!!!! The top of my tree I leave for the birdies and squirrels. They make guacamole a lot! Cheers!

yah but where I live the climate will not allow a tree like that to live.

You can grow anything. Just have to change your environment. Add some shade and change the soil type and periodic watter and many perennials will grown. I have a dregree in horticulture if u have any questions/.

It would have to be grown indoors as I live in growing zone 3

[joshallen1984]

If your soil is not balanced u will need to establish that first. here are a few trees that will be fine in your climate zone. Remember, if u plant something facing the full sun a zone 4 tree could work like a Maple but ur best choice is a vs frost is a pine like tree. or a arborvitae.

Arborvitae, Pyramidal 'Emerald Green' Thuja occidentalis 'Emerald Green'

Cherry, Wild Black Prunus serotina

Spruce, Colorado Blue Picea pungens glauca

Birch, Paper, Canoe Birch Betula papyrifera

Well I don't have a degree in horticultrure but I do know a lot about plants. Most people come to me for advice. My friend is growing a japinese maple tree in her house since it is zone 5. We can get away with some things in zone 4 in certain miroclimates but not all. I have too many trees in my lot to plant more. I have 6 American Elms that were here when I bought the house. I like the shade they provide.

I am from the southeast, and most of the perennials we study probably wouldnt grow very cold climates. But im sure there is a variety of perennials that will grow.

[likecards]

This year I focused on shrubs. I planted 15 in the front of my house after I removed the old. I have planted hundreds of perennials in my yard and friends keep bringing me more. I have no more room as a result.

There are microclimates in every garden and region. Climatic growing zones will merge into one another. There are warm and cold pockets in every garden. I garden on a slope approx. 900'ft from the Pacific Ocean. On the top part of my slope I grow the most tender exotic plants and at the bottom the hardier species because cold air is like water as it runs downhill. I live on a small Island off of the west coast of Canada and we can litterally grow jungle gardens here.

Where do you live? Trees grow everywhere. Add some topsoil w/ organic material. You need an irrigation system or about 15 minutes of free time each day. But the water bans enhibit these plant's growth. All a plant needs is water and sun and nutrients.

[likecards]

I live in Winnipeg. That is in Manitoba. Yes we can certainly grow many trees here. I just don't have any more room to grow them as I have 6 mature American Elms on my lot which take up all the space.

[joshallen1984]

Among other plants, after so long it drops, unless you support it. It can grow a certain height depending on its amount of sun exposure and the Soil needs to be a Loamy soil type in which is a balance of clay silt sand and organic material.

I am growing a banana tree inside my house. It is a dwarf variety.

[bj616]

Musa acuminata or Dwarf Cavendish. We grow Bananas outdoors on our island, the species is Musa basjoo. I planted mine 20 years ago. Others that can grow outdoors are Musa sikkimensis, Musella lasiocarpa, M. rajapuri and Itenerans.
