I live in Florida.

I have a full size Illinois ever-bearing mulberry (grows to 35 feet) and a brown turkey fig that I want to keep small since I don't have the room yet to plant them in the ground.

What size pot is ideal for them and will they survive well being constricted in size?

How can I manage them in containers appropriately without killing them?

How wide do Illinois mulberries grow to when planted in the ground? (someone said 100ft wide!)

Thank you.
