Lynn, that 'Maya' is planted in the ground in the first picture of my gingers with my 'Maya.' The second picture (Snowbank) and the third picture (Maya) show the trees newly planted in the ground. I have found that the leaves become dwarfed/stunted if the root system gets too rootbound. They don't do well with crowded roots so you have to be prepared to eventually use a 25- to 30-gallon container unless you are willing to root prune annually or bi-annually. Once in the ground, they want to be trees -- at least in this zone and probably in your zone too with some protection. Fortunately, 'Snowbank' is a slow grower so it might take a few years to get to the 25-gallon container.
