[QUOTE=Michael 61;2242187]Thanks for reply - here are more specifics:
1) Still shopping for ceramic planter - want something rather large.
2) will be in direct Sun from about noon until sundown - west facing
3) I have room for a plant/tree to grow as high roof top if necessary (planter will be just outside the eaves of my home, so will not be Heighth-limited.)
4) I have lots of plants already inside my birdcage that I need to tend to several times a week to water, pick off dead blooms, sweep up after, etc - so I’m good with moderate upkeep.
Ask the master gardeners. They have nothing to sell and will give you unbiased advice. They are located in the complex of buildings behind the Sumter sheriffs office on Hwy 466. For hours check:
