If a tree in a pot starts to "grow significantly", it usually does mean it's got a root out of the bottom and in to the soil! Others have advised you what to do this time - in future, it's worth rocking pots now and again to see if they've tethered themselves, and most certainly do it of one of the trees seems to be growing really well.
