Joanie,

I don't think that landscape paper (cloth) will contain a tree's roots much. This stuff is designed to prevent grassy weed growth, which, in my experience, it tends to do a rather poor job of over time. A tree's roots are considerably stronger and would simply grow through the material. However, I have seen and read about people using ceramic tile for the purpose of promoting horizontal root growth in the ground. Perhaps you could get some of this to use, instead?

John
