Does anyone have a suggestion for a tree for my one metre square container now that my cordyline australis of 30 years has bitten the dust from the severe frosts. I would like to replace it with something hardy, eventual height 10 to 15 feet, not too slow growing and some winter feature, although it doesn't have to be evergreen. I live near the coast and we don't as a rule have hard winters, but I have no idea what would be suitable.

Hello Liz,

Use our plant finder for some suggestions:

In the plant type field select trees, in the plant features field select suitable for growing in containers. Also make sure you tick hardy.

Thanks for sharing your views. Brilliant work. Keep it up.
