The "watering" that Mother Nature provides may be what the plant wants - Warm, wet summeres (the rapid growth time) and cooler, drier winters (dormancy) If not potted, getting some rain in winter may be OK - also, complex hybrids such as this tend to have fairly short dormancies. It likely is starting to sprout now, so it just might be making iself at home in that tree. Next fall when it goes dormant, you may or may not decide that you want to pot it up (the time for potting is during dormancy) for for now, it may do just fine.
