Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris) does quite well in pots.

  1. Why not post this on uk.rec.gardening?
  2. You are going to need very heavy containers to stop them being blown over in the wind, unless you intend to have them somewhere very sheltered. Tree type cotoneasters, White berried Mountain ash, Flowering crab apple on dwarf root stock, Various slow growing conifers and many more, depends if your site is sheltered, close to the sea or what.
