I can't really answer your first question since I've never put a tree in the ground before. I don't have any ground of my own yet, but that's hopefully going to change soon.

However there are a few things to think about before potting the tree. Most trees won't get much thicker once they're in a bonsai pot, so wait until you've got the trunk the size you want before you pot it.


Hopefully someone with more experience with home-grown stuff will chime in.

Good luck
