Ginkgo root system in planters

I am a new owner of two ginkgo trees (they are @ 5ft tall) and I just love them.  I want to make sure I plant them correctly so we can enjoy them for a very long time.  We are wanting to plant them in our planters that are 3ft tall by 14ft long and they would be in full sun.  I know they are slow growers but will there be a problem of the roots breaking through the planters eventually or there being enough room for the root system to grow properly?  The bottom portion of the planter is open to the ground below.  Any info would be great!!  Thank you.
