Planting Christmas tree

Hi I'm hoping to plant this Nordman Fir Christmas tree in the garden but fear the ground may be too frosty/hard to dig. In rhe meantime is it better to keep it indoors or can I keep it outside in the pot where I can water it more easily? Thanks

    From Wikipedia:

    "some specimens have been reported to be 78 m (256 ft) and even 85 m (279 ft) tall with a trunk diameter of up to 2 m."

    How big is your garden? :/




    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I would take it outside, but not sure if it would need acclimatization like you have to do with plants raised in the warm.
    Do you have a sheltered spot? A cool porch, greenhouse or conservatory with good light.

    It looks good at the moment, but does it have a good root system in the pot?
    Some do not so it is a waste of time and effort.

    Wild Edges is right they do get big, if they survive. But if you would like to try and bear in mind if  by chance you do not have the space it may be a temporary tree in the longer term.

    There is a recent post by someone who bought same tree with not very good roots.
