    The problem with buying anything that is slow growing is that to buy it at a usefull initial size means that someone has had to look after it for quite a number of years. They will of course want to recoup the time and effort that has been put in. This should mean that it is expensive unless someone is trying to improve cashflow.

    If you are offered anything with roots at a cheap price, that is at a size for use as a christmas tree now, I woulkd ecpect that it is a fast growing tree that will quickly outgrow its space in the garden

    I'm quite willing to buy a 'newly sewn' tree that will look nice in 4 or 5 years time... we're not planning to move ever (unless we win the lottery!)

    Thanks for the replies.
