So any ideas what size container to use, i was thinking something half a barrel size (2ft diameter, 18inches depth), is this too big/small?
Thanks

You could always just accept that you were going to get rid of it when it got too big. Leeds Council has planted lots of them within a few feet of a dual carriageway presumably with that idea in mind.
Mine has taken about 15 years to grow from about 18inches to about 12 feet.
