I have one growing in a pot in my polytunnel. It is in a pot measuring 15" across and it will stay there for a couple of more years at least. Mine wasn't so much leggy as just one stem. I pruned it back in February and now there are 5 branches. I also give it a weekly water and feed to which it has responded to well.

In a sheltered place in front of a wall. Restrict the root run - some people even build a sort or inverted brick "tower" in the ground to keep the roots confined.
