out of the varieties i received I've been able to find the growing instructions for all but two. they go by the names

can anybody enlighten me on whether they can be grown inside only or can they be grown outside and are they suitable for containers.

also are they to be grown as cordons or bush.

what type of fruit to expect IE. cherry/ regular salad type/ plum/ beefstake.

and lastly the colour to expect IE. yellow, red, green, etc.

thanks in advance for the advice.
