I recently bought a really pretty (but expensive) Juniper tree that's been pruned like its holding pom poms. At the time I bought it I planned to plant it in ground.

Now I'm thinking that I want to plant it in a pot on the patio.

Can someone please tell me if it is okay to grow it in a pot especially given the winters we have? Also, do I need to bring the pot inside over winter or can it stay comfortably (and alive) outside?

Thanks so much!!

P.S: If there is a more appropriate forum I should ask this question, please feel free to point out. Thanks again!
