Hah! I did that back in highschool! I remember when my mom found my plants in my closet and told me to get rid of them. Went out that night and climbed a few trees and duct taped the pot to a high branch. They ended up being stretched and weak as fuck, and most of them died, but that's cause I basically abandoned them. There's a grow here where someone actually did that successfully, I'm gunna try to find it.

You'll probabaly want to avoid physical contact from between the tree and your plant. Even though they are both plants, what is harmless or even benificial to one , may in fact be deadly to another. I am talking bacteria or insects. The insulation of your pot alone will keep it safe enough, though you will have more problems with catapillers and such.

Avoid using sappy evergreens, as the when the heat makes the sap run it can destroy young buds if it drips on them, and most likey whack your potted soil's PH awry.

Avoid fruit trees as they attract lots of birds which may decide for they want a buzz :)

I have grown sucsesfully in trees before but you must really plan it out . And you need to make sure no one sees you climbling the same tree all summer.

I've grown in trees before. Use grow bags and stick it in the elbows of trees. It was amazing how well they handled strong wind. Plants grew just fine, but they much rather be in the ground. This technique was only used in areas that didn't get much direct sunlight from the ground but a good amount up higher.
