How long could a Japanese Maple tree be grown in a pot? I know it will
eventually have to be planted in the ground, but we're not sure where we want

Depends on the cultivar of maple - some are very suited to container culture and
can remain in a pot indefinitely. Most of my maples are grown in containers. If
the pot is large enough to accomodate the tree and its root growth - many years.
