Trees To Grown In Large Pots

Question

My daughter has moved into a new house with just a lawn in the back garden and wants to grow a tree in a large pot. She was thinking of a silver birch? Or something that will grow to between 8ft or more over the years to act as a bit of a screen from being overlooked. Thank you.
