I was bought a plum tree and it would have grown way too big for my garden i thought id stick it in a big pot instead of letting it go to waste...... 1 year later i had 23 plums of it! Not bad.... its in its 3rd year now in the pot, its fed, watered and trimmed and so far it has been worth potting! if i get another few years with it potted great, if it starts to look sorry for itself ill re home it.......so far very healthy nothing to loose!
