The picture on the left was taken in April 2015 when I bought a very small monkey puzzle tree. We brought it with us and today I took a photo with the same ruler in the pot. It's looking very healthy. I think the Herefordshire climate suits it.
Does look healthy .. I have fond memories of Monkey Puzzle trees ..( not often seen in NZ) when we went on a road trip as children our Mum use to make a list of things to spot .. and Monkey Puzzle tree was always on the list .. we got to know where to find it and it is still there ..
I love monkey puzzle trees. We don't see them here, but I have seen one in New Zealand, at Wanaka of all places. @chimfa Take a photo of it Jane if you see it.
