This is one reason i have my remaining one in a 9 inch deep cascade pot.
Have had it for over a year and so far so good, it's a Mt. Fuji
Compost/soil is Akadama and chicken grit, so far so good.
I have so far broken all the rules, i have left all suckers to grow, also as soon as i see a flower, i cut it off.
One of my other bad tree's? is a Fukien, i read somewhere you should cut off all flowers, this should promote more growth, new leaves, and this has worked as well.
So, i applied this rule to the Serissa.
Any thought's about this? Cheers.
