The smallest trees are the hardest to keep healthy. Because the pots are so small, that the pot can quickly dry out or get too hot for the roots to live in. So start with a bigger tree, and learn how to care for it. Ficus and Chinese elms are excellent choices, but look around at what grows in yards and streets around you. The trees that do best in your area are always a good way to start.

Do a lot of reading, that's going to help you the most.
