Box will be fine. Just tie the tree in real well. You shoulld be able to get haydite or "litewate" or some other expanded shale product, like RockM was talking about. I have used pure perlite in the past, but it doesn't give the stability you need- my mistake. If you can't find anything else- try turface (or oil dry not quite s good), mixed with bark and perlite- about 1:1;1. The goal will be to not over water it in the beginning, yet keep it moist. John
