Mr. Mon,

I personally think this is a wonderful idea for the colder climates...Since you are using a container with no drainage, sitting down in the ground should not make any difference other than helping to protect from freezing...If it were me I think I would go ahead and dig the hole and put the container in from the 'get-go'...this would also help to protect a plastic container from exposure to ultraviolet light, and therefore potentially help to extend the life of the container...Just may give this a try myself on my next tree, if I am in a situation where I might be staying in one place long enough to grow it out...

Regards
Behr
