This was our Christmas tree from 2016 which was planted outside a year ago. It was supposed to have been used a second time before planting out permanently but during the year I thought it was looking a bit the worst for wear and took it out of its pot and it has thrived. This years will be planted shortly once I decide where will be the best spot.
This the trouble with re planting in view of using them every year, you never like to up root them again when they have struggled to get back on their feet.
