My question is are these boxes are suitable for newly collected Yamadori or will they work for any tree in training so to speak

As this picture shows, you can make nice pots from wood. The container must give an environment to let the tree thrive. I grow my small saplings in colanders from the dollar tree. Great drainage and the roots seem to prune themselves when they hit the colander walls. The box or pot should not be too large so the plant internodes will be short and compact. …Short answer… YES you can grow trees in a box.
The trees that I get from collectors are often in a mesh sink strainer or plastic pan that has drainage and aeration holes punched or drilled into the sides and bottom.
