A green balcony can not only bring you shade and cooler air in summer, but it also looks nicer than mere concrete walls. Choosing the right variety of fruit trees, for example, is important when planting on a balcony.
Climbing plants are not generally forbidden, and trellises can also find their place on the balcony. It's better to ask your landlord or landlady in advance whether he or she is okay with creeping plants such as ivy on the balcony. The dream of having your own fruit is not completely unattainable. A balcony also offers enough space to plant herbs that can then be used directly in the kitchen. Even a small raised bed with vegetables sometimes fits into a corner of the balcony and provides supplies for delicious meals in summer. But you should not plant your balcony completely without thinking. In some cases, some plants are even forbidden in the flower box or in the balcony's flower box. The larger the tree gets, the more space it will eventually take up from the entire building.
