I saw these.  :D  Do you think that they would be suitable to go into big pots, or would they need to be planted into the ground?

They will do OK in large pots, but the ones I tried like that died....entirely my fault, I just didn't water enough. I think I will try some cherry trees for my other plot this year, I fancy training some over an arch or two..... ;D

Stella is supposedly self-fertile, but will do better if there's another cherry there too.... I'll be getting a couple of Morello's and as I already have a Stella I should get good fruit set.... If I were buying plums I'd buy one of each but I'd want to know what rootstocks they're on..
