Can you grow Cherry blossom (or similar) in pit?

Just that really. Although we have a smallish bed in our garden then soil/ground is so rocky and hard that I doubt we'd be able to dig down far enough to make hole large enough for a small cherry blossom tree.
Is it possible to get them to grow in large pot instead. What variety's are best for this? Don't want one larger that 7ft high. Anything that produces lovely blossom. Thank you :)

We have two cherries in large pots that have been going well for twenty years now (wedding present) much neglected, they haven't grown much but then I haven't fed or pruned them much. The blossom is nice. And my two apple trees in large pots for two years have lovely blossom right now.

Sorry don't know the variety.

Yes but they won’t do as well as if they were in the ground. I have two identical trees, one in the ground had a lovely blossom this year. The one in the pot has a single flower. You’ll need to keep the pots well watered and refresh the compost when it’s no longer nutritious.
