We did this over a decade ago with great success. What soil type do you have? Sand or clay you can plant longleaf pine. There's a huge effort to replace them in urban areas recently. I see them more and more sold retail at around 4' high. There's some drawbacks to planting container pines and honestly the best ones I have were ones that were a foot or two tall that I dug up from a friend's land with a enough soil to never see the roots. They're turning into beautiful trees taller than me now.
We went with Shumar Red Oaks since they tend to grow a bit quicker and are more drought tolerant. They needed more shaping than I planned on but now are doing great.
