I love monkey puzzle trees but don't plant it near a path where its going to stab you every time you go near it. I made this mistake!

These trees can grow into monsters, so you'll need a HUGE garden for a fully grown one!

as its in a pot any time will do. dig a hole at least twice as big as the pot, mix in leaf mould etc . when you knock the plant out tease the roots loose if they are 'circling' the pot. plant to the same soil root/stem mark on the trunk and backfill. water well and enjoy. they are usually slow growing so it probably wont be a monster in your life time or even those of your kiddies [if you have any]!
