Can I Dwarf A Gunnii? I Have Bought Two But Now Am Worried About Root Spread To Neighbours’ Properties.

I already have the plants, but I would like to limit the root spread to about six metres! As long as the tree grows to about the same height it’ll do the job. (I ought to have bought nipophilia or something, but these are the right colour and I thought I’d just get away with it. Many thanks

If you are familiar with root pruning, and keeping trees in container, then it is possible. Otherwise, dwarfing requires grafting to a smaller statured root stock if you intend to plant in ground.
