Planting a Tree in a Pot

Question

We were just given two cypress Boulevard Pom Pom trees as a gift and were wondering if they can be planted in large ceramic pots instead of in the ground (no room). If so, is there anything unusual we need to know? The pots are approximately twice as big as the root ball of the trees. The trees are approximately 3′ tall right now.

Answer 1

This tree does great in containers, and even makes an excellent candidate for training into bonsai specimens. You may find these articles helpful as well: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/containers/how-to-grow-container-trees.htm
