The soil in the garden is horrible, so I'm afraid that if the roots start poking out of the grow box, they would not enjoy it. I'm thinking about building oversized grow boxes to try and replicate being in the ground. The temperatures here get really warm (116F during the hottest parts). What should I do?
i would try that grow bag.......

its a thing you put the roots of the tree in
a "control bag" they call it

it automatically root prunes it and keeps the roots controlled and neat

so when u dig it up in time......there is less shock
