I thought about putting it back into the ground while it was small. There is no place I can plant it now. Where there used to be Sun it's now all shade as the they have grown. The driveway is about the only sunny spot left in the yard. I have 6 trees 4 ft and taller, and two small ones. All in pots. I think for now, this is the only way I can have Pluneria.. If I need to, I will get one of those super gigantic permanent pots. Then dig then up each year, or at least when we have a cold winter. Would that work better? btw, Iam having the same placement/potting issue with a Giant BOP. She's doing well in a pot for now, actually she's gorgeous. But she'll need another home eventually. I have to learn to say no to certain plants that, or forget about using the driveway!
