Seed
Hello all,
A few months ago I bought an "extra dwarf pomegranate" tree from Baker Creek Seeds. Out of twelve seeds, this one came up.
(Here is how it looked in the first two weeks)

This was taken in bright light, but the plant is normally in a dorm room with max 4 hours of bright light a day. It sits in a cool windowsill. It is in a glass pickle jar filled with dirt from my home backyard.
I have never grown a bonsai before. When/how do I remove the tree to cut the root? How old does it have to be or what should it look like when I start trimming? If I were to put this tree in the ground would it grow to a normal size? Are the odds in my favor for this tree's survival? I have so many questions and appreciate any advice!
