Will these trees not outgrow the small cubicals they are in?
No. This concept was first used in Italy over 40 years ago. They choose the appropriate trees.
Some trees only grow a few feet tall. I remember when I was a kid, my mother planted a few such small trees when we moved into a house with a yard.
Depends on what they are.
You can always prune them back too
