A beautiful tree that will grow well in a pot.

[FartingAgainstThunder]

I was given some of my late Dad's ashes and really didn't know what to do with them, so they have languished in a drawer for the past year and a bit.

I'd like to plant a tree and scatter his ashes when doing so but as we rent I'd rather do this in a pot so I can take it with me if we buy somewhere eventually.

Any suggestions?
Garden is windy and only has the sun until around 3pm.
North of Scotland so lots of rain.

I have an olive tree that has thrived on my terrace. Am south east but get a lot of wind and there is no shelter from it.

I'm definitely leaning towards an Acer, one of the yellow ones as that was his favourite colour.
I like the idea of an olive tree but seeing as he hated olives I probably shouldn't 😊

Japanese acers prefer acid soil but you could adjust that with your growing medium. Ashes would be alkaline (I guess) but you say you only have a small amount.
Everybody's going to hate me for this but I am so bored with acers being the stock answer to everything. I'm being particularly unfair because I have some marvellous ones in my garden, some 60 years old. But I don't love them any more. They're everywhere and they've become so ubiquitous that they no longer have any impact as nice specimens. Also so many of them are red-leaved and too much red foliage really kills gardens. Having said that, I'm not about to chainsaw mine and put them on the bonfire.
Fuji cherry is a good call. Lovely long-lasting flowers, fabulous autumn colour, and, although deciduous, has a nice intricate silhouette.
I have dwarf Scots pine in old Chinese dragon pots. It's Pinus sylvestris Watereri. Thrilled with it.

How about something like this;

Sorry, picture would help

A standard rose would be lovely too. David Austin has some nice ones.

That is stunning.

I have that magnolia. It's the best of the yellows and really beautiful. Flowers from a young age.
