Has anyone try to grow in an oak wine barrel cut in half? Do you think root bound won't be a problem with this type of container?

Do you think root bound won't be a problem with this type of container?I have over 30- 1/2 wine barrels in both synthetic materials and wood in which I grow citrus, avocado's, dwarf peaches, nectarines and blueberries in my yard.

I have had two 1/2 wine barrels and both also eventually fell apart.
