True, I won't need the heating elements or insulation for this planter. The drainage though is critical because my soil is mostly clay with rocks and cobblestones mixed in for entertainment.

Originally I was going to put a Mohawk Pecan there, but it died an early and sorry death. Now I'm back to considering a whole assortment of things, from deciduous fruit or berry, perhaps Bilberry or maybe an evergreen fruiting shrub like Chilean Guava. Decisions, decisions ....
