You could start it in a pot but they get quite large and have strong roots they like to send deep so it won't be happy for more than a few years.

They get very big and very prickly I don't think pots will really work.
I replaced one last year which had been in the wrong place for years. It took too big men a very long time to get the roots out. They are lovely though, the birds love them.
