Hello, We want to plant fruit trees in our yard but we have limited space. So we are interested in dwarf fruit trees. What dwarf fruit trees are best suited for Houston, Texas (zone 9a)? Specifically mango, lemon, banana, papaya, date, and olive trees. We've searched for information and mostly found information on dwarf fruit trees grown in containers. Will planting these dwarf fruit trees in the ground affect their growth? What should we look for to ensure we're buying a "dwarf" fruit tree? We'd appreciate your suggestions and guidance. Thank you, Sharon & Eugene
