answer:It really depends on the root system. Sadly, I’m not particularly familiar with the tree in question, but given that it only grows to 8’ tall, I’d image the root system is fairly compact. You might be able to get away with it if you have a large enough pot. The other thing to consider is that if it really has a 10’ or so spread, you’ll need a sizeable pot to keep it from tipping over in the breeze.
