I have an Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki' in a pot which I bought last year
but can't seem to find a good place for. I also have a spare 1m tall
strawberry planter.
It occurs to me that the acer would look good situated 1m above ground
in said planter. Would this work if I fill the planter with JI / garden
soil or would the roots quickly be too constricted?

Depends how big the strawberry planter is
Also be very careful to cover soil tightly with planting membrane plus
gravel to stop Vine weevil getting in cos they love Acers

What would be the signs of a wine weevil infestation?
I have just written a note in which I said I thought my Acer was becoming
pot bound, but you have set me wondering.
