Before you select a container, you need to pick potential tree candidates that can survive in a pot. To do that, you need to know:
Your hardiness zone
Desired height and width at maturity
Light and water requirements
Potential for leaf and bark litter
Now that you know your growing conditions and what tree qualities you want, look for a dwarf tree so it’s easier for the tree to adapt to the limited growing area it has available in a container.
Now it’s time to think about container size. You do not want one that is too small as this will leave little room for root growth and your tree is likely to become rootbound and struggle or die. You can also run into problems if the pot is too large for the plant’s current size. When soil present is abundant and not enough roots to take up the water, it can retain moisture for too long and cause root rots that can ultimately kill the plant. Be sure your container has sufficient drainage holes no matter what size it is.
For best results, plan on moving your container up in 2-inch increments every couple of years until your dwarf tree reaches maturity. Repot sooner if you notice roots escaping from the drainage holes. If it is rootbound when you change containers, perform root pruning by using a box cutter or other sharp instrument to score along the sides of the root ball and remove the mass of roots. This will stimulate new root growth and keep your tree healthier.
