Smile Eucalyptus tree help needed!

I bought a beautiful Eucalytptus coccifera in a 20 litre pot, the tree is about 1.40m tall. I would like to grow it in a pot, what pot size do you suggest?At the moment I have potted it in a 40cm pot but it seems too small,what do you think?Will it survive in a pot?

They survive in pots if watered, etc, but become unsuitable for being transferred to the ground as they become potbound. Potting on is not what you do with Eucs so I'd put it into the largest pot you ever intend to put it into now.
