I'm no expert by far, but this is what I have been doing.
I also put the rooted cuttings into 1 gallon pots & move them up to say a 3 gal, if I have them, if not, I go to a 5gal. I have some brugs that are 3 years old still in 5 gal but most older larger ones are in 20 gallon. That is the largest one I can move by myself. I have 3 large ones I put into 1/2 wine barrels every spring & pull them up in the fall. (No easy feat!) But they love it in there & do so well. I trim the roots & stuff them back into the 20 gal. pot fpr winter. They are so tall that I have to tip them in my GH. You can see in this pic how far leaned they are & still the tops are touching the ceiling. Hopefully we can move them out soon!
