Rooftop plants (especially Fruits)
Assalam o alaikum Everyone,
Will you kindly adivise about rooftop dwarf shade trees (with shallow roots) in Southern Punjab. We live in a village near Vehari, Burewala (a district of Multan division). Kindly send us the list of trees which we can plant on roof top. Further advice is requested for rooftop fruite plants.
I think the plants should require less soil, less water and should be sun & heat tolerant.
Kindly inform us from where we can get these plants.
Kindly advise,

Try Pineapples..they grow good in container and need less water and are heat tolerant...good for rooftops.

rooftop dwarf shade trees (with shallow roots) in Southern Punjab.
I get the impression that the trees will be planted in the 4 inch earth that normally covers the roof.

I am only concerned about peeple tree and do not know about Bakain and Jujubee. Other than that all do fine in pots.
