Can I keep Akebia Quinata permanently in a pot, and if so how large must pot be?

    You can, but how happy it will be is another matter.  In the soil, I have to keep hacking one back to keep it under control.

    As @fidgetbones says it wont be happy in a pot. Does that mean that you only have the space for it in a pot? It can get very big.

    This will give you an idea of a happy akebia.
    Yes ... there is a garden shed under it ... somewhere! 😂

    Golly, I'm awfully glad I got rid of mine a couple of months ago!

    Yes ... we need to do something about it, but too many other projects at the moment. Picture 2 is the back and side of the shed by the way. 
    I guess it is the fault of the owner who hasn't kept it in order. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
