Monkey Puzzle Tree

Question:

I have a monkey puzzle tree in a large pot and hope to plant it in the garden this year. It is approximately 1 meter tall, how big will the roots grow over time as this will have a relevance on were the tree can be planted.

Answer:

As a general rule a tree's roots grow as long as the tree is high so as Monkey Puzzle Trees can grow to 70ft I would keep it in a pot.
As long as the pot is large and you continue to top-dress and fertilize each year it will do fine for quite a number of years.
