I've removed it as it was growing from under our oil tank but have repotted it as if it's a nice tree I'll keep it.

Will it survive in a pot or will it eventually need to go in the ground and what conditions? Thanks for any help. I'm on the East coast of N Ireland if it helps with anything, was growing in a West facing rear garden?

Have uploaded a pic FYI.

Thanks for any help.
