A vigorous growth habit doesn't present much of an obstacle if you know a little about maintaining woody material in pots for the long term. How old would you guess the M alba seen below and grown by Walter Pall to be? Thousands of bonsai practitioners maintain Morus and even Sequoiadendron giganteum in pots that are often passed from artist to artist for generations - and very small pots at that. The common fig, close kin to Morus, has approximately the same level of genetic vigor as trees in the Morus genus, and many thousands of growers enjoy fruit from their containerized fig trees for years and years.
