Should work in pots for a few years. It probably never gets real cold in the
UK, but if you expect any freezing weather, you should put insulation around the

pots to keep the roots from freezing. Pots in the sun tend to dry out quickly,
so
pay attention to the moisture level, which may require daily watering in the
hottest
part of the year. Also, most apples and pears require pollinators, anotherwords

additional apple and pear trees, or you will not get any fruit.
