I'm growing a regular cherry out the bottom of a 3-gal pot. I have basil growing on top to help keep the soil covered. It's growing and doing great. It's my first time and this is what I've found:
-It does dry out faster than my regular 3-gal pot that's sitting on the ground. And more watering means more frequent feeding.
-Using Tumbler or another compact variety would be better because my cherry got too tall/long. I had to to tie some of the branches up with strings to support the weight.
-the black pot is not pretty. Next time I will slit holes on the side of the pot and plant a few flowers like petunias to cover it up.

It was fun, though. Definitely will do it again.
