We are aiming for 3-4m citrus/lemon and Olive ones (they grow perfectly well in Beirut's weather, and in a 1m3 pot), Also, smaller shrubs and plants will also be used. Concerning the extra load on the roof, we would be placing the Large pots exactly centered on top of the Concrete Pillars of the building, so there are no risks at all Check our facebook page for https://www.facebook.com/Beirut.Wonder.Forest we have an image of one citrus tree in a pot we will be using, and more details and updates about the proposal.

But when "the pot"is big enough ( f.i.10 m3 of soil) a tree of 10 meter high can be expected. Google on Expo 2000 Dutch pavillion and you will find pictures of a forest in a building. I made this in 2000. Best regards, Huib info@greenwavesystems.nl You are right that trees need space for their roots to grow.

Rooftops would have to be structurally assessed to determine suitability for load bearing. @youareme trees would be choosen due to their suitability to be grown in pots/have a shallower root system that can be contained in the area of a rooftop.

Don't they need a large depth and breadth of soil to grow? I've never really understood how that works. Can anyone explain to me how a tree can grow to normal size on a roof?
