Fruit trees in pots

I bought a couple of fruit trees from Aldi last week. I would really like to grow them in big pots.

Any advice if this would work? I don't want them to be massive & don't really want to plant them on the plot, even though thats where they'll live.

 

Hi cannyfullpots
You do not say what they are, I grow three varieties in 40 litre pots. Plum, Apricot and Peach, however the were bought from a specialist nursery (blackmoor) and are on dwarf rootstock. if you have dwarf rootstock you should be ok. I had a great crop last year. someone more knowledgable may help more. picture from nursery dwarf crimson peach I got 20 peaches from this size tree last year regards alex

 

Another thing to consider is watering

All pot plants need extra care, they dry up very fast.

If you don't keep on top of the watering, the plant might drop its fruit

 

That tree is beautiful @alexmac
I found this information about the trees:
Aldi rootstock :The rootstock information for all of the trees is listed below.

Apples, – These will be budded onto a “M9 Dwarf” rootstock, which will fruit earlier.

Cherry, – These are budded on to “Colt” rootstock which has uniformed growth pattern, it is semi vigorous and will not grow too large.

Pear, – These are budded on to a “Quince A” rootstock which is a virus free example.

Plums, – Will be budded onto a “St Julian A” root stock or a “Myrobolane” root stock these are virus free and semi vigorous growing.

I can't remember which ones I picked up - memory like a sieve! Will have a look when I get home. There was definitely a plum tree amongst them.

Thank you @Craig1987 Watering shouldn't be a problem as the MIL waters for me if I can't get to the plot for a couple of days.
