Hi Sylvia, hope you are doing better. I agree, don't put those populars in the ground, but you still can make an living arbor with them in the pots girlfriend. Just put them in a bigger pot so they can grow more and place about 4 feet or so apart and trim the branches off except for the taller ones, about 6-8ft tall for the arch part. Tie them together at the middle of the arch when you can with raffia or green soft ties for plants. Then plant something that vines at the base of the trees(simple) like morning glories(your favorite color) or a passiflora, or rose that climbs. Experiment, I am. I will let you know how its works out for me too, mine is just twined together naturally for now, but may have to do it later on this summer. Here is a picture(not pruned yet though) of the top two tree branches twined together. Hope you can see it. It just happens to be growing in my front garden spot in the middle of my garden for sitting.
