Default Apple tree in pot?

Dogwoods like full shade.

Hi everyone,

I have a couple questions. I've been growing an apple tree I started
from seed in a pot for several months. It's still pretty small, maybe
4 inches tall, but it has lots of small leaves on it. Should I put it
in a bigger pot, or has its growth been stunted for some other reason?
It's still really small-looking for the pot it's in (a 6 inch pot, I
believe.)

Also, what's the best route to go about overwintering it? I have a
few months, yet, but I don't think it's going to get much bigger and I
wouldn't want it to die if I put it in the ground. Can I just keep it
inside and hope for the best (I've had plants die over the winter
indoors, possibly from lack of sufficient light?), or is there
something else I could do?

I'm not really sure if this is the right place for these questions, so
if not, could someone direct me to the appropriate group? Many thanks
in advance!

Patrick
