South Africa is privileged to have a rich flora of indigenous trees. Most of our trees grow very large over time, and are therefore not suitable for planting in smaller gardens. BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION!
Many South African tree species will grow well in a large pot or container. If a tree is planted in a very small container (for example 5L or less), it is referred to as a bonsai. In contrast, Treeshop's product range is aimed at planting trees in larger containers -50L and more.
It is widely accepted that the size of many indigenous tree species can be limited by containing their root volume - and you can do this by planting them in containers.....

Going forward, Treeshop will introduce specific indigenous species which we have tested and found to be container friendly. Our first container tree species that are sales ready, is Kei-apple (Dovyalis caffra). For more information click here.
