Then again, putting pots directly on the ground and letting the roots
grow out... only to be root chopped at a later day is one way of getting
more growth out of the plant! That way you still have a rootball in the
pot, but the plant has had more room to spread... similar to chopping
around the roots of a grown-in-the-ground plant a few months before
digging it up for bonsai


Yes. That works, but you have to be willing to put up with
earthworms and other critters that can more easily reach the
tree when it is on the ground.
