i have several lemon scented conifers (don’t know their real names beautiful bushy pale green/yellow foliage, growing to a distinct conical shape).
all are really healthy. And in large pots my question is should I trim them at all or will they simply come to a halt when they reach the limit of the current pots? I can’t go up much more in pot size so really need to keep them at their current height..

Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.

Mine have grown very slowly but steadily over the years, I move the larger one up in pot sizes accordingly but I believe keeping them in small pots restrains their growth.
i originally bought 2 and when I saw tiny ones a couple of years later I bought 4 more, they are now easily over a meter too. I really love the smell when you brush past them and the zingy foliage is wonderful in winter when darker greens can seem dull.
