Hi Deflation,

A bigger pot will allow a tree to grow taller, fatter and develop more branches. The more space the tree has to spread its roots to take up nutrients, the faster this process will happen. Obviously there is a limit to how much a tree will grow in any given year, which varies according to the species.

For the best results, it is recommended that you put a tree in the ground for a few years, as this is the quickest way to achieve a better developed trunk.

All the best,

Aaron
