Pube pot size

danish

I am growing some pubes outdoors in the uk next year. My aim is to achieve maximum growth, particularly meristem width. I want tree trunk growth. Growing in the ground is not an option. What size pots should I use? Is a shallow or tall pot preferable for width?
 
5 gal bucket (drill big holes in the bottom)

I certainly wouldn't go smaller than 25 gallon if this is your goal. Most of my plants were in the ground last year, but there were a few in fabric pots. The ones in 15 and 25 gallon pots were noticeably larger than the ones in 5 gallon pots.
 
Also, check out Pepper Guru's glogs. Specifically 2013. Look at his fabric pots and the growth he gets. Some of his pots are quite a bit larger.
 
It is true that 20 gallons or more would be best but in the UK you are not likely to need much over 10 to 15 gallons.  Larger would have greatly diminishing returns due to the shorter growing season.  It should not be especially shallow OR tall.
