I have a 4/5 year old monkey puzzle which I’ve potted on to slightly larger pots as it grew. It is now around a foot high and a good shape. I’m moving where the garden is a good size however the tree will grow too large ultimately and roots could impact the house so am thinking of planting it in one corner of the garden but restricted in a large pot sunk into the ground. Would think an ultimate height of 8’ to 10’ would be good. Any suggestions appreciated as to the container and the compost to plant it in?
Wonderful trees for stately homes/or those with huge gardens. I am amazed here in Scotland how many baby trees are still planted in front gardens..near to the house.
