Indoor tree suggestions?

11 years ago

I am designing an interior courtyard that will feature a tree as well as other vegetation. I know next to nothing about plants and trees. I need advice on the type of tree that will grow indoors no higher than 18' high and no wider than 16' diameter. I'm looking for a very sculptural tree. Any suggestions?

Go to a local nursery, and see what they suggest.

Crepe myrtle or Japanese maple are the obvious choices. A weeping cherry might be a nice touch. There are also tons of dwarf fruit trees, which I always love in a courtyard.
