How would a large growing tree develop in a container? Will it grow as normal in height and fruit or will it simply just stop once the roots begin to twirl around itself?
Would depend on the tree, the size container and how you cared for it. I have seen large mangoes growing and fruiting in a 100, 200, 300 and 500 gallon pots. To optimally care for it you would ant to root prune every year or two...problem here is that maneuvering trees that large and pots that big require machinery and usually more than one person.
