Can I grow a prunus serrula (Tibetan cherry) in a pot? The tree is about 6ft high currently but doesn't seem to be entirely happy in the corner of our garden.

This particular tree can grow slowly up to 30 ft. so it is not a dwarf one which can be grown in a pot. I would say no. But to be sure if I am wrong others will let you know. I have two of these trees and though they are not nearly the max height ,I cannot imagine them in a pot.

I agree with Loosestrife - it wouldn't do well in a pot, and in particular if yours is in the ground and currently 6 feet, the root spread will be pretty big - cherries tend to put out long surface roots as well as rooting down into the ground.
