Highlt recommended
Very pleased. Only had this a few hours, so unable to comment on long-term viability, but it arrived incredibly quickly, extremely well packaged and looks like a healthy, vigorous specimen. Its about 9in tall, and came complete with comprehensive care instructions, spare cable tie and 6 months supply of slow release plant food. Highly recommended, great value for the price!

Beautiful sturdy tree bud
Beautiful sturdy tree bud. Very well packed with excellent instructions as to how to repot and care for. Mine seems to be doing very well now in a huge pot in the garden. This tree is SLOW growing and so you need to be patient- about 40 years to reach any height. My young son loves this tree but I think he doesn't understand how slow it grows. Saying that ours has shooter a little. Recommended seller- can't fault packaging or instructions.

From Little Acorns - Great Oak Trees Grow!
It’s currently small and humble, but from little acorns, great Oak trees grow, or in this case… A Monkey Puxxle Tree! Truth is I’ve had 2 Monkey Puzzle Trees in my gardens for over 50 years. The first was purchased way back in 1974. It grew nicely to add a little sophistication to my garden. It was left behind when I moved to a bigger house in 1979 when another small MP tree was planted at the front of my house.Thirty years on the MP Tree was a magnificent feature standing some 30 feet tall. I moved again in 2010 and left the MP tree behind. I started out again with a third small MP Tree in 2012 thst now stands proudly some 12 feet tall gracing the top of my garden as a proud and distinguishing feature.This current tree purchased in April 2025 is little more than 3 inches tall looking unassuming and humble with a single vertical trunk. It was however well packed, in a very healthy condition and looked to have two small shoots forming at its top. The root structure is well established and the little Monkey Puzzle Tree healthy in good condition and ready for potting on to continue its growth.A famous quote claims that the definition of a civilised man is one who plants a tree knowing he will not live long enough to shelter under its branches. I will not live to see this current little tree reach maturity, but intend to plant it in my son’s garden to grow, mature and thrive to add a striking feature to his home for his wife and my grandchildren to enjoy. Make of this missive what you will. In short the sapling is in good shape, healthy and decent value for money. I have no hesitation in recommending this supplier and this tree. Be patient and remember….. From Little Acorns Great Oak Trees grow!This .

Bought them for the kids
The kids wanted one each and are in competition to see who is more successful growing them. They arrived very well packed and my son (typical male) didn't read the instructions and immediatley re-potted his. My daughter did read the instructions and placed it on the window sill without re-potting. Both are doing well with new growth. I will probably have to look after them once the kids have got bored and that will be the big test - I kill every plant I touch.

Not very impressed
It was a little stick when it came and is the same little stick living in my kitchen now 6 months later. Maybe it will become a tree in umpteen years to come, but I doubt in my lifetime!
